1.  It would be fairly rare for the bin's from iso-2 (the bootable
live filesystem) from a release not to work on the corresponding
-stable.

2.  However you should certainly be booting from the cd, for reasons
already noted.

3.  make release will enable you to create the equivalent of iso-2
for your -stable, if you really insist.

4.  You should investigate The Coroner's Toolkit, available (free)
from porcupine.org to really do forensics work.  It comes from
Dan Farmer & Wiese Venema, who need no endorsement from me.
I've used it (on Solaris) with very gratifying results.
