You can don't have to enter the Setup screen and alter the boot device priorities each time you plug in a new device if your BIOS supports the BIOS Boot Specification (which it should, unless the system is quite old). When you first power-on your system, you should see something similar to "Press F8 for BBS Popup". (It may be Escape or F5 or some other key, depending on how the vendor configured the BIOS.) https://imageshack.us/a/img60/6793/bbsjpgne7.jpg The BBS "popup" menu presents a list of all bootable devices currently available. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8049/8350750816_f589819597_b.jpg -- Paul _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
