I have an old Dell OptiPlex GXi 5166L that I want to put Red Hat on. The problem is that it won't boot from the CD-ROM so I need to change the boot devices in the BIOS. However, I can't get into it. I've tried every key I can think off but nothing works.

Thanks for any help.

Dell's typically use the F2 key to enter setup.
