John, Can't you use one of the small distro's/linux toolboxes which run in memory to do this?

It needs some way of doing this properly. Surely linux has a way of putting together a temporary kernel installing it into memory and adding useful tool kits, like drakxtools-newt, partimage and all the rest. This method of doing things is much more universally usable than working from an OS or bumping through CD1 install disc.
