Bash script to extract the bt3-usb iso to your HDD ready for a HDD install.

Hey guys

Just hacked up this little bash script to aid me in reinstalling bt3 onto my HDD. This script mounts the ISO and extracts all the LZM's to a folder on your HDD.

Then it packs up a HDD install ready to be extracted onto your HDD.

Code:

---

#!/bin/bash
# Backtrack 3 USB edition HDD extractor by drgr33n
echo "######################################################
### Backtrack 3 usb edition packer by drgr33n 2008 ###
######################################################"
echo "This script will extract all the data from the BT3 usb image and dump it in your root folder"

# User input
echo "Type the /path/to/the/BT3final_usb.iso followed by [ENTER] for EG /root/BT3final_usb.iso:"
read path

echo "Creaing the directories and mounting the image to /mnt/iso"
mkdir /root/bt3-final/
mkdir /mnt/backtrack-iso
mount -o loop $path /mnt/backtrack-iso/
cd backtrack-iso

# Make sure the backtrack folder exists!
if [ -d BT3 ] ; then
        echo "BT3 Folder Found"
else
        echo "Error! BT3 Folder not found check /path/to/bt3 iso"
        exit 1
fi

if [ -d boot ] ; then
        echo "boot Folder Found"
else
        echo "Error! boot Folder not found check /path/to/bt3 iso"
        exit 1
fi

# Extract it all to /root
cd BT3
cd base
list='echo *'
for file in $list
  do
  echo $file
  lzm2dir $file /root/bt3-final/
done
cd ..
cd modules
list='echo *'
  for file in $list
  do
  echo 'Extracting '$file
  lzm2dir $file /root/bt3-final/
done
cd ..
cd optional
list='echo *'
  for file in $list
  do
  echo 'Extracting '$file
  lzm2dir $file /root/bt3-final/
done
cd /mnt/backtrack-iso
cp -R /boot /root/bt3-final
mkdir /root/bt3-final/{mnt,sys,proc}
cp --preserve -R /dev /mnt/sda1/dev
umount $path
echo "BT3 final extraction complete! Just copy onto your HDD, chroot and run lilo"
echo "Script by drgr33n / zarren2@hotmail.co.uk"
