4MRescueKit For Linux

4MRescueKit is a free, live, bootable, minimal, fast, portable and open source computer operating system that brings you all the tools that you need to rescue a broken OS, recover lost files from damaged drives, as well as to backup your files or clean your system from malware and nasty viruses.

The distribution is derived from the latest version of the well-known 4MLinux operating system and comprises of four standalone distributions that are also based on the 4MLinux, including Antivirus Live CD, BakAndImgCD, 4MParted, as well as 4MRecover.

4MRescueKit is available for download as a dual-arch Live CD ISO image that has approximately 200 MB in size, boots on computers supporting either of the 64-bit or 32-bit CPU architectures, and can be used from either a Mini CD, CD, DVD or USB flash drive.

When booting the live system system, the user will encounter the Live CD boot menu, which allows him/her to choose between the Antivirus Live CD, BakAndImgCD, 4MParted or 4MRecover operating systems, depending on the task you want to perform.

Please note that the Live CD has been instructed to automatically start the default entry (Antivirus Live CD) in ten seconds from the moment you boot it from the BIOS of your computer.

Booting one of the included operating system will automatically start a live system with it, allowing the user to immediately use the tools included in the respective OS. For example, with the Antivirus Live CD you will be able to scan an infected computer for malware and clean it.

You will be able to backup your data using the 4MLinux Backup Scripts or create disk images using Partclone, Partimage and GNU ddrescue with BakAndImgCD, partition disk drivers with GParted using 4MParted, as well as to recover lost files and partitions from damaged drives with PhotoRec and TestDisk using 4MRecover.
