A simple way to add your own modules and scripts to Backtrack using Linux.

How to use the ati.lzm module

Copy the ati.lzm module to your directory root (”cd /”) then “tar -zxvf ati.lzm” - then run the .sh file that is placed in the newly created /install directory by typing “sh install/doinst.sh”. After that you should be able to load up X by using the ati command which will configure /etc/X11/xorg.conf to work properly so you can then after use your preferred method to run X.

Or, just copy it to /bt/modules/ on the cd

Installing BackTrack using the GUI Installer

Probably the easiest way to Install BackTrack. -muts

Installing BackTrack to Hard Disk

Follow the guideline1 [1]However, if you are using BackTrack2 Final, you should additionally copy /boot from the LiveCD to your /boot partition. After that, try the GUI installer again. Christian Moldes.

Can someone who has worked extensively with the newest release, please update this section, as there is no “K -> System -> Backtrack Installer” nor “K -> Backtrack -> Miscellaneous -> Backtrack Installer” in it.

Thanks in advance, I await your response.

Very interesting distro here.

Install BackTrack 2 Final on OS X 10.4, VMWare Fusion

Installing BackTrack in a dual boot configuration (movie)

A short movie describing a dual boot installation of Backtrack can be found here -muts

Note: In the video there’s an instruction to cp /boot/boot/vmlinuz /mnt/backtrack/boot This is for previous releases of BackTrack, BT2 final command should be cp /boot/vmlinuz /mnt/backtrack/boot also note it’s vmlinuz, not vmlinux -ziplock

Note2: If you change the default root password after your LiveCD boot and then do this install, the HD installed version will have the new password, not the LiveCD default password. -ziplock

Note: If Qt parted refuses to commit your resize to the ntfs partion try mounting the partition with fuse then unmounting it. No idea why this works but it does. Check wiki on how to do that. -TheX1le

Update: mounting the partition with fuse makes the partition writable until the next mount. The partition must be writable during the partitioning, also for editing lilo.conf and running the lilo command which activates the changes made in lilo.conf. -ziplock

Note: If you get this message: WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot. Syncing disks.

That means the LiveCD have automatically mounted one or more partitions in your system. That could be your windows partition (/mnt/hda1 for example) or any other partition you have in your system. To get rid of this just un-mount the mounted device/s. Lets say its hda1 thats mounted then you do this command: umount /dev/hda1 -denied

Make a BackTrack USB Stick

Copy the files to a 1G USB Stick and make it bootable in three easy steps. -ziplock

save configuration to USB stick

After having produced the personalization, open the console and digit dir2lzm /mnt/live/memory/changes changes.lzm (changes.lzm or pippo.lzm …) changes.lzm you have in root folder, paste in USB modules folder (BT/modules). A reboot you ave saved setting up. -bzImage

There is an issue after you save to changes.lzm and boot from the module then make new changes and try to save them because you only get the new changes and not the previous. Then create new changes and have to save them. Seems you have to copy /mnt/live/memory/changes to a tmp dir then merge /mnt/live/memory/images/changes.lzm/ onto the tmp dir. Then turn that into a new module to load. -Kinchyle

If you make a subsequent change, you can just save the new change.lzm file in the /BT/modules folder using a different name: ie change1.lzm and change2.lzm and then a subsequent file called change3.lzm all without merging them. -Milon

Live install, dual boot from grub

This is another method to create a ‘live’ install of BT3 on your hdd. The need for this was that an install of BT was required for a machine with only 4gb of disk space and that it also needed to be dual booted with another linux distro from grub. This is a very simple live install with no persistancy. it has been done on an eeepc.

in essence you:

1.create partition for backtrack (750mb)

2.copy CONTENTS of iso to said partition

3.edit your grub bootloader

4.boot

So here goes…

1. create a partition for the BT iso (750mb will do). 2. grab a copy of the iso from download section. 2. mount the iso somewhere i.e.

mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /path/to/theiso.iso /mnt/iso

3. mount the partition you want BT upon. i.e.

mount /dev/hdX /mnt/bt

4. copy the contents of the iso to the new partition. i.e.

cp -r /mnt/iso /mnt/bt

5. edit grub /boot/grub/menu.lst

add this:

title BackTrack root (hd0,1) kernel /bootvmlinuz max_loop=255 initrd=initrd.gz init=linuxrc load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw initrd /boot/initrd.gz savedefaults boot

obviously replacing root hd(0,1) with your partition number and replacing /dev/hdX with the name of the disk and partition you are installing to (i.e. hda2 (first hdd, second partition)

6. save and then boot the sucka!
