If your system uses UEFI and has EFI boot manager entries for CD/DVD and USB, then you can manipulate the order with efibootmgr. Use 'efibootmgr -n' to change the boot order for the next boot only. I'm not sure how to create a new entry for a device like a USB stick, though. Petter -- "I'm ionized" "Are you sure?" "I'm positive."
