+        <p>I've run into quite a problem the last few days.  I bought three
+new laptops for my parents and a few others.  I bought Packard Bell
+Easynote LV to run Kubuntu on and use as their home computer.  But I
+am completely unable to figure out how to install Linux on it.  The
+computer is preinstalled with Windows 8, and I suspect it uses UEFI
+instead of a BIOS to boot.</p>
+
+<p>The problem is that I am unable to get it to PXE boot, and unable
+to get it to boot the Linux installer from my USB stick.  I have yet
+to try the DVD install, and still hope it will work.  when I turn on
+the computer, there is no information on what buttons to press to get
+the normal boot menu.  I expect to get some boot menu to select PXE or
+USB stick booting.  When booting, it first ask for the language to
+use, then for some regional settings, and finally if I will accept the
+Windows 8 terms of use.  As these terms are completely unacceptable to
+me, I have no other choice but to turn off the computer and try again
+to get it to boot the Linux installer.</p>
+
+<p>I have gathered my findings so far on a Linlap page about the
+<a href="http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv">Packard Bell
+EasyNote LV</a> model.  If you have any idea how to get Linux
+installed on this machine, please get in touch or update that wiki
+page.  If I can't find a way to install Linux, I will have to return
+the laptop to the seller and find another machine for my parents.</p>
+
+<p>I wonder, is this the way Linux will be forced out of the marked
+using UEFI and "secure boot" by making it impossible to install Linux
+on new Laptops?</p>
