Finnix and SystemRescueCd

I stumbled upon these as I was looking for PPC-based Linux distributions (well, SystemRescueCd is strictly x86) and decided to give both a whirl. I was hoping to find something that stayed updated with GParted, fast to load, and hasn't any annoying setup options (boots straight to X).

Finnix was fast indeed and had no setup, but the major thing I found was that it's strictly command line. No X to get into to use GParted. I also found this site that told me what I needed to know about Finnix (though the article was on a slightly older version). Needless to say, it was not a viable candidate.

SystemRescueCd uses X and GParted, however, while booting, I saw the textual setup that's in GParted Live, so at the first question (I believe the keyboard map), I ejected the disk and did a hard shutdown. While I can understand the point of SystemRescueCd, I'd rather use GParted Live If I'm going to have to set up the language, keymap, etc. SystemRescueCd is not going to be something I use either.

Since my GParted Live is old (0.17.x vs 0.19.1), I'll have to test it out, but I'm expecting it to be not much different than before with the setup options. At some point, I may spin my own distro where it boots directly into X and opens GParted, just like GParted Live, but without all the annoying setup questions; however, that will be when I learn how to do so... Heck, I may just respin GParted Live to use the default options to make it how I'd like and finally kill off PartedMagic.
