Thanks Christian, sounds like it's exactly what I need! There are all 
sorts of .iso downloads at the links you provided. Most of them seem to 
be for different versions of GUI desktops, but it looks like the file I 
want (compact, stable, no GUI frontend, 64-bit system, with "rescue" 
utilities including ddrescue 1.23) is:

http://nightly.altlinux.org/sisyphus/tested/regular-rescue-latest-x86_64.iso

(Though it may not hurt to have another CD with 
"regular-rescue-latest-i586.iso" as well in case I need to work on a 
32-bit system.)
