Typically, it is worded something like <literal>Press F10 to select boot device</literal>, although the specific wording and the key that you must press varies widely from computer to computer. Consult the documentation for your computer or motherboard, or seek support from the hardware manufacturer or vendor. On Apple computers, the <keycap>C</keycap> key boots the system from the DVD drive.

When you press a dead key, nothing will appear on your screen until you press another key to "complete" the character. For example, to type <literal>é</literal> on a latin1 keyboard layout, you would press (and release) the <keycap>'</keycap> key, and then press the <literal>E</literal> key. By contrast, you access this character on some other keyboards by pressing and holding down a key (such as <keycap>Alt-Gr</keycap>) while you press the <literal>E</literal> key.
