+      <div class="body">
+        <p>Two days ago, I asked
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/How_can_I_install_Linux_on_a_Packard_Bell_Easynote_LV_preinstalled_with_Windows_8_.html">how
+I could install Linux on a Packard Bell EasyNote LV computer
+preinstalled with Windows 8</a>.  I found a solution, but am horrified
+with the obstacles put in the way of Linux users on a laptop with UEFI
+and Windows 8.</p>
+
+<p>I never found out if the cause of my problems were the use of UEFI
+secure booting or fast boot.  I suspect fast boot was the problem,
+causing the firmware to boot directly from HD without considering any
+key presses and alternative devices, but do not know UEFI settings
+enough to tell.</p>
+
+<p>There is no way to install Linux on the machine in question without
+opening the box and disconnecting the hard drive!  This is as far as I
+can tell, the only way to get access to the firmware setup menu
+without accepting the Windows 8 license agreement.  I am told (and
+found description on how to) that it is possible to configure the
+firmware setup once booted into Windows 8.  But as I believe the terms
+of that agreement are completely unacceptable, accepting the license
+was never an alternative.  I do not enter agreements I do not intend
+to follow.</p>
+
+<p>I feared I had to return the laptops and ask for a refund, and
+waste many hours on this, but luckily there was a way to get it to
+work.  But I would not recommend it to anyone planning to run Linux on
+it, and I have become sceptical to Windows 8 certified laptops.  Is
+this the way Linux will be forced out of the market place, by making
+it close to impossible for "normal" users to install Linux without
+accepting the Microsoft Windows license terms?  Or at least not
+without risking to loose the warranty?</p>
+
+<p>I've updated the
+<a href="http://www.linlap.com/packard_bell_easynote_lv">Linux Laptop
+wiki page for Packard Bell EasyNote LV</a>, to ensure the next person
+do not have to struggle as much as I did to get Linux into the
+machine.</p>
+
+<p>Thanks to Bob Rosbag, Florian Weimer, Philipp Kern, Ben Hutching,
+Michael Tokarev and others for feedback and ideas.</p>
