[CoLoCo] Live cd on Lenovo T61 Thinkpad

[Paul Schwartz]

That's probably something put in by your IT admin when they set the machine up for you. Keeps ordinary users [human beings] from messing with the machine config.

Subject: [CoLoCo] Live cd on Lenovo T61 Thinkpad


Hi all,

Our school district's tech department now has a policy of not supporting any of our hardware except for Dells.  Not sure what they mean by "support", but I have quasi-official permission from our administrator to install Ubuntu on the Lenovo T61 Thinkpad that I use with my programming club.  I already run 100% Ubuntu on my personal laptop and would like to do the same on the Thinkpad, which is used in my math classes and for programming.

I'm no computer expert, but since Ubuntu is for human beings I'm pretty sure I qualify :-).  Anyway, I can't figure out how to boot to the live cd.  I try to go into the bios on start-up, but it then accepts my fingerprint and then wants an additional password.

Any advice would be appreciated. 
 

Thanks in advance,
Richard
