What happened to the Trinity Rescue Kit CD?
I ran across a link for the Trinity Rescue Kit, a rescue CD, but the site seems to be down. There's even a Wikipedia page for it.
Is it temporarily gone, moved or permanently gone? Anyone know? |

Finnix used to be a good alternative, but it hasn't been updated in a couple years.
Last night I created a Fedora live USB, which I intend to try to use as a rescue CD with grub2 today. Maybe any live distro could be used that way. |

This is what I heard at the time:
TRK had only one maintainer. TRK fell victim to Windows Secure Market Share--er, secure boot--and to increased responsibilities in the maintainer's personal life which kept him from devoting the time to adapt it to secure boot's UEFI.
The last I heard, the maintainer hopes to get back to it if and when he can.
TRK was a nice piece of work.
