Trinity Rescue Kit 3.2

Trinity Rescue Kit or TRK is a free live Linux distribution that aims specifically at recovery and repair operations on Windows machines, but is equally usable for Linux recovery issues. Trinity Rescue Kit is based on binaries and scripts from several other distributions, like Timo's Rescue CD, Mandriva 2005 and Fedora Core 3 and 4, as well as many original source packages and tools from other distributions. Startup procedure and methods, several scripts and concept are completely self-made or at least heavily adapted.
