Hi Michael.
To select a boot option when a pc/laptop starts you may be asked to
press F12 or F8 or similar to select your Ubuntu disc. Your laptop can
be set to always boot from CD/DVD first by entering the BIOS setup
screen of your laptop using the F1 or "Del" key. I,m afraid all these
options may require sighted assistance however if speaking to someone in
person helps, please feel free to call me on 07799551545
Regards
Geoff
