Hello,

I'm trying to Install Back-track, But I've got an error while installing I'm probably new to Linux so I dont know much about it, still reading ..

Well, The problem is, I can't install back-track because of this error:-

"Some of the partitions you created are too small. Please make the following partitions at least this large: 11/5 GB

The problem then, is precisely pointed out to you. Do you not know how to create larger partitions? I think you are headed for trouble down the road if you are new to Linux and trying to use Backtrack as it was designed for experienced users to test security. Do you understand its purpose? It is also not supported any longer AFAIK, the new instance of it is Kali Linux.

Well, Maybe you're correct but I still want to install it

Then delete the partitions you have created and create larger ones. But John is right, Backtrack is obsolete, I would recommend to use its successor Kali Linux.

Can you please explain in which step i need to create more size? I can't really understand and sorry for disturbing

When you install an OS at some point you will have to create partitions on the harddisk for it. It seems that you either have already done that, but have created the partitions to small, so that the OS will not fit into them. So you will have to start the installation again and when it comes to partitioning remove the partitions you have created for it and create larger ones. 10-15GB for the OS alone is usually a reasonable choice, if you want to store data also you will of course need larger partitions.
