Seems that I had to download a utility from Compaq's site onto a floppy and boot from it in order to access the BIOS on the Prolinea that runs my firewall. Try using the "F10 Setup" utility from the link below for your model. The site states that this utility resides on the HDD of these systems (accessible with the F10 key during boot), but since I had already wiped the drive when I attempted to enter the BIOS, the function key didn't work for me. Good luck. http://www5.compaq.com/support/files/desktops/us/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dustin Puryear" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2000 8:03 PM Subject: [brluglist] Compaq Deskpro BIOS <p>| Does anyone know how to get into the BIOS setup for Compaq Deskpro's? (These | are Pentium 200's.) I have three I am trying to get working for personal use | and damn if I can figure out which key will get me in. I noticed if I put in a | new disk that it automatically reconfigures the machine (I think it does at | least), but I would rather be able to fiddle. Plus, I'm having some problems | booting off the new disk with Linux. | | Any help would be appreciated! | | | --- | Dustin Puryear | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | | ____________________________________________________________________ | Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 | ================================================ | BRLUG - The Baton Rouge Linux User Group | Visit http://www.brlug.net for more information. | Send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to change | your subscription information. | ================================================ | ================================================ BRLUG - The Baton Rouge Linux User Group Visit http://www.brlug.net for more information.
