There's really not much use for installing partimage on Gentoo since partimage
cannot backup or restore mounted file systems. Unless you want to setup a
partimage server for other pc's to use, or backup partitions from other
operating systems while running Gentoo.
SystemRescueCd is an iso file, you use it to burn a bootable cd to perform
misc tasks on your pc. Basically, for partimage use... you boot from the cd,
mount a partition to write the backup images to and run partimage.
Highly recommended: http://www.partimage.org/doc/index.html
