Amnesia Live CD here is the old name for T(A)ILS live CD available at
https://amnesia.boum.org. It changed name after the merge with the
icognito live CD project. There's already a bug report against Torbutton
to update the references in this message, (as well as the Torvm part of
it, being unmaintained) which warns you about downloading untrusted files
and read them on your computer.
