Trinity Rescue Kit 1.1

Again, more than a year ago, Trinity Rescue Kit 1.0 was released.
Still with a few bugs, it provided means of rescueing a crashed computer
using Linux.

Now, Trinity Rescue Kit 1.1 is released as a major upgrade on 1.0 (I could
call it 2.0, I 'm a bit stingy on my numbers).

What does it do?

Trinity Rescue Kit is a bootable Linux CDRom based on Mandrake 9.1 binaries.
It has all the necessary rescue tools onboard and gives you the ability to
recover files from a Windows or Linux system, undelete files from fat
(fatback), ntfs (ntfsundelete) and ext2 (with midnight commander).
You can also reset NT-based Windows passwords using chntpw but with an
automated script (winpass) that searches for Windows installation itself and
prompts you for no more than "y", "n" or "q"
It contains other third party tools like "testdisk" (recover lost
partitions), Partition Image (make images over the network)
It supports even more hardware than version 1.0: it can now succesfully
search for PCMCIA network cards or USB ethernet adapters.
One can give boot time options to the lilo prompt whether you want to start
dhcp, run a virusscan or create a disk image, just by providing simple
numbers (see TRK homepage for explanation).
It has networking capabilities like ssh, scp, ftp and samba
Trinity Rescue Kit 1.1 build 98 boots fast and warns you of any updates or
tips if there 's a working Internet connection.
The filesize is even smaller than version 1.0 (now 47,5mb uncompressed), so
it still fits on a business card.
TRK is something an administrator could always keep in his collection of
tools.

There 's even already a brief development build kit and howto for those
interested in creating their modified version.
