After recording Episode 6 of Distrohoppers' Digest, I was working on my IdeaPad 110acl-80TJ, installing Pearl Desktop 8 ... I was on battery power, and noticed the battery was low. I grabbed for my power supply, plugged it in to the socket, went to plug the other end into the computer... and the machine died. I could not boot anything. I tried a few more things to recover it, to no avail.
So I got out my trusy GPartEd 1.0 disk, and reformatted it, creating a 4 Gb swap partition...
