This download site is always busy, so chuck it into d4x and get it ti do a mirror search and choose one of them. I found several only just at the moment d4x seems unable to find any

I suppose you haven't yet seen a gento -basic-X86-1.4-rc2 boot disc. It's basically a 38 MB programme that creates for you a kernel for the purpose of loading into memory along with other programmes like partimage. You run the disc to the prompt and run the programme you want in our case partimage which is on the disc as well as other programmes, like fdisk or cfdisk. Like Partition Magic uses a boot floppy and a programme floppy, Gentoo uses a Boot CD with partimage on it .
