Booting Asus EEEPC 111 HA from USB

[Dave Hunt]

Hello List!

I Just acquired the subject netbook; it is equipped with Win XP home.  
In the Ubuntu community docs, it is suggested that hitting the escape 
key, during power-on, will bring up the list of bootable devices, from 
which I should be able to choose the USB stick.  This does not happen.  
The machine boots immediately into Win.  I've also tried using f2 to 
enter setup.  My sighted helper has looked in the user manual for this 
machine, and can find nothing  about how to get into bios setup.
Thanks for anyy help!


Best Regards,


Dave  Hunt
