    I am trying to set up Debian linux on a Compaq Evo N800w (Mobile Pentium
    4, 1GB RAM, onboard LAN, Video, and Sound, Wireless LAN USB Device).
    The current issues I am having is that ACPI support by the kernel is not
    up-to-date enough to recognize the components of my system. My
    understanding is that I report that to the Kernel mailing list or
    bugzilla. For doing that, does anybody know a way to easily save the
    Kernel bootlog and other pertinent files so I can access them from my
    fully functional Windows partition. Additional issue is that the
    Debian-stable version of XFree86 does not support my video hardware,
    though it appears that 4.3.0 does. Does anybody have a Debian package
    for that?
