Hello, I have successfully used System Rescue CD as my go-to
environment for running ddrescue. Unfortunately, System Rescue CD is
no longer being maintained (ddrescue there is stuck at 1.21r1), and I
really would like to use the latest version of ddrescue (among other
reasons, one of my requested changes to ddrescue was kindly
incorporated by Antonio in 1.23).
Is there another easy-to-create (e.g., ISO image directly available)
live Unix CD that has the basics I need to run ddrescue and keeps
ddrescue better updated? My workflow only uses:
lsblk (to determine device IDs)
ntfs-3g (to mount Windows partition/drive)
ddrescue
(and of course basic Unix commands like ls, cd, etc.). I do not use
the other "rescue" features of System Rescue CD, not in this workflow
at any rate.
ALT Linux usually updates packages quickly and provides "Rescue" images
with weekly auto builds:

http://nightly.altlinux.org/sisyphus/snapshots/
The latest "tested" version provides kernel 4.19.10, ddrescue 1.23 and
ntfs-3g 2017.3.23:
