1 I noticed that partimage (0.6.4-r3) is available on portage, but
2 SystemRescueCd (SystemRescueCd-x86-0.2.15) isn't.
3 a) Have you had any problems getting these up and running?
4 b) Have you noticed any collisions with adding packages to your gentoo
5 install after these? (dependency / reverse dependency problems)

31 my partions.
