Dell BIOS Changes

["J. D. Leach" <jeromeleach17@gmail.com>]

To Whom it May Concern,

Have a Dell Inspiron 3668 desktop with the latest Dell firmware 
(1.12.2). This update, and numerous of the preceding ones, do not allow 
ANY type of loading of Debian (or any othe Linux flavor) onto the PC. In 
the BIOS configuration menu, no option is available to boot from the DVD 
drive, or USB, unless a Windows recovery media is detected. Linux loader 
programs likewise fail, and Windows loads instead. PC is about two years 
old.

Looked all across the 'Net and have found zero fixes outside of wiping 
the hard drive. The latest Dell support pages regarding the set up of 
the boot sequence does not cover the firmware installed on my PC.

I suspect Microsoft is back to trying to squelch the use of software 
other than what it approves of.

Thought you might wish to be aware.
