Go to BIOS setup and change "Hotkey Mode" from Enabled to Disabled. I won't be surprised if there are Linux tools to do the same.
aha, will try that. Thanks.
Brilliant! it works - thanks Andrei, that saved me a good few hours. The Lenovo support pages are difficult to navigate.
I just had a quick look at the cheapest I could find in stock in my zone. This one: https://www.pccomponentes.com/lenovo-ideapad--100-15iby-intel-celeron-n2840-... Lenovo Ideapad 100 - 219 € One of the comments made me look again: "it does not include Windows :-(" :-)) So I looked again at the specs, and sure, it says "FreeDOS operating system". Pity it does not says "tested with Linux". For me, the bad thing are the few connectors: 1 x Micro HDMI 1 x USB 2.0 1 x USB 3.0 1 x RJ-45 I need more USB connections. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
