== Booting from your USB Key ==
Once you have created your USB key, you need to tell your computer to ''boot from USB''.
You do this from the BIOS. This is slightly different on each computer: Explore the setup screen for your computer (usually by pressing Esc or F1 while the computer is booting). If you cannot figure it out, search Google for information on your computer's BIOS.
If you are unable to boot from USB, you can burn a ''Boot Helper'' CD using [http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/os/images/boot.iso boot.iso]. This will start the boot from the CD and then read files from the USB.
You can also use the ''PLoP Boot Manager'' to create a boot floppy for machines without the ability to boot from CD or USB, see [http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/No_native_BIOS_support No native BIOS support].
