Installing Linux on Acer's M4641 Desktop

For about 3 hours last night I could not figure out why F10 x86 and x86_64 and Gentoo x86 and x86_64 install CD's all failed. It was really frustrating. After a bit of time I found out that there is a bios setting related to the OS that is booted .... Changing this from the default to the last setting (I think it was ANY or ALL or something like that) allowed me to start the installation. The funny thing is that by default it is NOT set to Windows (that was the second option) but it seems the first two only work with a Windows install ... and, well, I don't use Windows :-).
digg it
seed it
del.icio.us
