Hi,

The current BitFolk rescue VM as described in
<https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Rescue> is based on Debian wheezy
(7.0) and as such is starting to get too old to be useful.

I've set up a newer one based on Debian stretch (9.0), which can be
accessed by using the "rescue-dev" command (instead of just
"rescue").

Next time you have cause to use the rescue environment, if you could
give "rescue-dev" a go and let me know of any issues, that would be
helpful. It should work just the same, except for being newer.

Cheers,
Andy
