The other reason I've found to use Parted Magic is because it comes bundled with Clonezilla... however, the version in the last free Parted Magic does seem to be a bit buggy with some of my machines.
Sysresccd doesn't have Clonezilla, but it does have nearly all the tools Clonezilla uses to create images, if somebody's willing to do some work by hand to create/restore Clonezilla images. As far as I can tell, it's just missing gdisk/sgdisk, which it used to have but seem to have gotten pulled(?)... though man, it'd be nice if it just rolled Clonezilla in. There used to be a live CD that did just that (combine Clonezilla and Sysresccd) a few years back, but the project is defunct now afaik.
