rescue and partitioning root disks

[Nick Gawronski]

      Hi, Let me tell you what I am wanting to do.  I would like to re
size my linux partition so I can make another partition to use as a backup
partition.  My problem is that I can't find a disk with the utilitys gnu
parted and basic rescue disk tools because all of the boot disk images
have the kernel at the start of the image and it does not allow me to
mount it and the kernel does not have speakup in it.  I need just a root
disk with no kernel so I can use my own speakup kernel to re partition my
disk.  Thanks in advance.  bye
