I am presently at Bhopal and the family has Lenovo Ideapad S100 Netbook with Windows 7. I had made usb stick with latest antiX-15 which I decided to try on this netbook.
On this Netbook pressing F12 on boot is supposed to bring Boot Menu but it did not work (may be because F12 is actually Fn+F11 and Fn key may not be working on boot).
Pressing F2 however brings the BIOS Set up. In BIOS Set up Boot Tag I could see the USB Stick but there is no provision to bring it up and make it first boot device.
But I could disable booting from Hard Disk (first boot device) by putting a "x" by pressing "x" key and save settings.
Then I could boot from USB and now posting this on Iceweasel (Open Source Firefox) on antiX-15.
This machine has 2 GB RAM and antiX is very fast.
