It might be interesting to try the acronis trial product that DJA
recommended

I think the actual product page is

It appears that you may have to use Windows to create a bootable
(cd/diskette?), but thereafter it boots and runs autonomously.
Reading the manual "Chapter 9. Bootable Media Builder" makes me
believe that you do need Windows to create a bootable medium. If you
have purchased the boxed set, you get a bootable CD with it.
However, when I read about the trial product, I see:

Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.0 trial version has the following limitations:
* Only partitions of the minimum size (1 cylinder ~ 7,8 MBytes)
can be created (both in Windows and in rescue mode)
* Acronis OS Selector trial period expires after 15 days, and then
starts with a 15 seconds delay

Not much use except to try the user interface. :-) Maybe that's why
they make it a free trial.
