How to generate a 8-bit pcx

Well I have the image, I am trying to convert it to a 8-bit pcx. Now GIMP has the ability to save it as a pcx but it generates it's own pallete. Any ideas? I would rather not install anything but if I have to that fine too.
-bashcommando

Go to the Image menu and from there go to Mode > Indexed. Generate an optimum palette with a maximum of 256 colors (which means 8-bit color) and then just export it as PCX.
