How to install backtrack 2.0?


Hello, obviously I am a freshly new beginner in Lunix. What I'm trying to do is crack my WiFi encryption using Backtrack 2.0. I downloaded backtrack 2.0 and the icon has no program to it, so obviously I need another program to run it correct? Would I use VMware workstation windows or Vmware workstation Lunix? Then how do I install everything and get it running.

I've been searching around on the net and found a few websites but to be honest I can't understand to many. Is there any websites I can go to so I can learn basic Lunix command prompts and the program itself? I'm really eager to learn and would appreciate the help from anybody. Thanks

Backtrack2 is a live Linux distro. you should be able to boot from the CD to a Linux desktop.

Some applications in Backtrack2 require you to download modules and insert them using the uselivemod utility from the command line.

I would say you probably need to go back to the Backtrack 2 docs for the app you are trying to use.

I don't understand the question.

The Backtrack installer is in the desktop menu. Just click "system" then "Backtrack installer"

Backtrack is always an installable Live CD in every version I downloaded.
