<para>You can boot directly from a Live DVD or USB. Usually, you just need
to plug the USB device in or place the DVD in the drive and restart the
computer.</para>
<para>If the computer does not automatically boot from the USB or DVD you
may need to reconfigure your BIOS Boot Disk priority. Alternatively, you
might try accessing the boot device menu to select a device from which the
computer will boot.</para>
<tip>
<para>To access the BIOS or boot menu when the computer is starting, you
can try pressing either <keycap>F2</keycap>, <keycap>Del</keycap> or
<keycap>Esc</keycap> for the BIOS, or <keycap>Esc</keycap>,
<keycap>F8</keycap>, <keycap>F10</keycap> or <keycap>F11</keycap> for
the boot device menu. These (fairly common) keys are just a selection of
possible options though.</para>
</tip>
<note>
<para>The actual screen that you will first see when booting from the
Live media will depend on whether your computer motherboard is of the
Legacy (BIOS) or UEFI type.</para>
