BackTrack
Hey Everyone,
I was wondering everyones thoughts on BackTrack. I am going to install it as my single OS on my laptop tonight when i get home from the gym and i was wondering if i should install backtrack 2 or 3 Final. I have had some problems installing BackTrack 3 final, but I think i have a solution. I was just wondering from people who know both Distros, wich was one better for a HD install? thanks! |
I had BT3 (some beta, I think) on my wlancracker laptop as the only OS for a while. I never had any problems with it. That's all I can say, just a distro focusing on security and paying very little attention to other stuff.

BT 3 final install + dual boot xp+ubuntu
hey everyone,
i am trying to do a triboot with backtrack 3 final which i downloaded (695MB) with xp pro and ubuntu 8.04 installed as dual boot. when i booted the bt3 livecd i created the linux 10Gb and its swap 3GB but but am hooked up with how to bring up the GUI backtrack installer interface. pls i need some help here!!! |
They removed the installer from BT3. It is possible to install it though. I followed these instructions when I did it when I was on a wlan security kick:
http://forums.remote-exploit.org/sho...94&postcount=1 You need to do it from a host system (a running linux environment). The instructions assume basic knowledge of partitioning and I guess are written for the more intermediate crowd. I hope this helps. |
