The following are links to other forensic booting environments. It is strongly recommended to have a CD case packed with different boot discs because you just can’t be prepared enough when you are onsite to image machines. Not all of these are updated or maintained regularly, so if the link/s go out, search online for a current link. Another recommendation is to download it as soon as you find it, because it may not be there tomorrow…
