Sounds like you have a problem with your VMware display settings.

What is it that makes you believe that your WN422 is working in Vmware? What does "iwconfig" say? What tutorials on YouTube did you watch?

Did you try the command "fix-vesa"?

Sorry, but you're just flat wrong and probably have no idea what you are talking about.

Actually, it's 27 dBm. A 27 dBi reading would be an antenna gain reading (decibels referenced to an isotrophic source).

A reading of 27 dBm is 27 decibels referenced to one milliwatt.

If I remember correctly, the script "install.sh" has an option to install the boot loader. Just uncheck that box when you re-run install.sh.

But first, I would try to find out what I did to hose...

You'll need to mount the drive first.

Okay... Take my hand...

Edit the file "casper" located at /etc/init.d.

Comment out the echo "Please remove disks..."
Comment out all the commands of the "if" statement below the echo command,...

This has been covered and discussed before. It's just a shutdown script that is run that asks the user to remove any disks. It can easily be removed.

I see your problem - You are basically computer illiterate (no slam, just facts). You don't understand how your computer sets up to boot from a specific device. As far as I can tell, you haven't...

How did you get to the point where if failed? Tell us the configuration of your virtual machine. If I had to guess, I would say that you pointed the installer to the wrong installation point.

I don't know what to tell you... What I gave you was pretty basic stuff. If you don't understand it, then maybe Linux (and Backtrack) aren't for you.

Congratulations on your error! Oh, wait... maybe you wanted help resolving it? If so, here are some possible reasons for failure:

* Perhaps MAC address filtering is enabled.
* Check...

Did you enable networking in your virtual machine settings?

Well, what reason was it that caused you to download the distribution in the first place?

If you want a step-by-step proceedure to create a bootable USB, try:

0) Toss unetbootin.
1) Boot from the live DVD.
2) Make a directory for your USB mount point => mkdir /mnt/sda1
3) Make a...

I'm glad that you finally got things to work. However, I would refrain from admitting to crimes here on this forum. It is highly frowned upon by all participants.

What drivers are you using to run your TL-WN422G? You do realize that you have to uninstall the Intel drivers and install the TL-WN422G drivers to get this USB WIFI card to work, don't you? Please...

I wasn't all that clear in my request for info. What I want to see is the "/" directory of your mounted USB. If it is mounted at /mnt/sda1 then I want to see the directory /mnt/sda1. Also, I want...

Did you check the md5 of your iso? Did it MATCH the posted md5 of the iso?

If you'd actually read the error message, it says that it "can't find kernel image". That means that the boot loader...

It could be that the vmlinuz and initrd.img links didn't copy properly. Try changing the /boot/grub/menu.lst "kernel" and "initrd" lines to point to the actual file instead of the link.

What does your laptop have? If it has a USB port, you could try the info from this post:

Step by step? Try:
1) Boot from the live DVD.
2) Make a directory for your mount point => mkdir /mnt/sda1
3) Make a directory for your mount point => mkdir /mnt/cdrom

I would like to bring this eBay auction to the attentions of the developers of Backtrack. I don't know if the auction violates any copyright, but if it does, then the developers need to contact eBay...

The link from this page BackTrack Information Security Distribution - R1 Dev Release is missing the link to download the R1 package. There is nothing after the "Download BackTrack R1 Dev here:".
