[plug] Partimage boot disk or cd

[Chris Caston]

Thanks Luke, Daniel, Craig and Leon.

I will be trying Lukes first as this seems the easiest right now.

I'm just downloading System Rescue CD:
http://www.sysresccd.org/

Which is based on Gentoo and contains partimage.

I'll let you know how I go.

regards,

Chris Caston
