[HLUG] Ooops

yes if they are not running you need to change the boot order in the
bios 
- I have no fear of changing the boot order for CD's and USB's after all
the school machines we have had to boot up - 

this is actually an issue that we cannot overcome for new users - I am
sure Geoff will not have a problem but for parents and teachers who
don't  know what bios or boot order is it is quite a stumbling block -
we have provided some documentation here
http://tuxedu.org.uk/downloads/

which uses mainly wording from the ubuntu documentation but if anyone
has any ideas of a clearer way to describe how to change the boot order
please let us know - we were thinking along the lines of a how-to boot
