As this was asked in the "Beginner's Section",it may be worthwhile for future readers running into this and reading the thread; rather than a more direct attempt to answer your more Bt specific...

hopefully this will help you get started. you have not posted the error. the actual error will follow the Syslinux copywrite info line starting with ERROR:

example: ERROR: No configuration file...

just a polite suggestion,but perhaps you should edit your thread title to reflect that the issue has been [solved]; so other forum users may more easily find the thread in results if searching rather...

press the enter key at the 'boot' prompt. much like you would using hiren's. i was expecting something more complicated at first, as well. hope this helps.

i had similar issue and went with fresh hdd install, but i prefer to install fresh also as i perform regular backups of files i need to keep. would not a side by side dual partition installation bit...

speaking generally; you are repeatedly moving/writing/saving data in and out of ram, to a rather slow to write to drive type, over a rather slow comparative transfer speed usb bus. it shouldn't slow...

i try to stay away from using VM due to the slightly lower performance results on some of my older machines,personally; and also much prefer using an HD install of b|t whenever possible as you have...

hello tyger86,


i won't bag on you for not searching first, as you obviously did so. search refinement though, is a very good subject to always be improving upon, for any of us. it's a key...

my 0.4.8 works "perfectly" with no modifications; from either maxfx's bt5up or sickness bt5 updater.

id suggest going that route than manually breaking other things...

to quickly cover a few possibly miscommunicated points;

you created a bootable usb drive using unetbootin to deliver the ISO to it. you do not make mention of creating a persistent installation...

hello,

two things: i'm unsure of what you mean when you say you downloaded b|t "through a usb". do you mean you downloaded the b|t ISO file to an external usb harddrive? or do you mean you...

are you not issuing wicd start and wicd-client commands prior to starting x? that's one very easy way to run into this.

you'd get that key in well under a minute with wesside-ng and another shell pinging at 192 ip addy if done correctly.

it's wep. i set a decently complex wep key at 16 char length on my test...

hi maxfx,

i didn't think the wireshark update would be so painfully long when i originally requested it to be added. but it does work perfectly without the lua issue now. its nice you set it as an...

please, indulge me in a simple question:

why, in image #2 did you leave the ip address legible 95.xx...; but then in image #3 you took the time to black out the ip address on all of the tries,but...

you've ruled out a checksum error in your downloads by performing the md5 checksum comparison. you've (mostly) ruled out defective dvd-r media and a defective dvd burner by taking the next step and...

synthblad3,

the easy out answer is to just tell you to kill process 1308 blindly,as airmon-ng,etc may not appreciate it being already in use.

root@bt:~# kill 1308

to get a better...

JooJar,

I attempted installation and ended up with the same results as you. I haven't used BitchX in ages and mostly just IRC with Xchat after starting X anyway. Sorry to go slightly off topic,...

i completely understand the point of your post. and moreso: what is someone actually going to accomplish using backtrack if they are too lazy or unable to simply burn the iso or create a bootable usb...

i always like to have b|t on its own hd install personally, and would normally just use grub and gparted to setup something like this if a situation absolutely demanded it. usually the proper way of...

please delete.

if you can still boot to bt5 and windows is gone?: "Mission Accomplished". :p

i am not a broadcom card user, i use alfas only (and have nothing but good things to say about them,mostly anyway). i preface this post as such,only because I cannot test this for you.

it...

you are either using a defective usb drive, not wiping the usb drive properly, or the iso file you are using unetbootin to deliver the iso and making it bootable has a invalid checksum and you have...

hello virchanza,

would this be sort of building a gui for ComaX's YAMAS script or similar coding for a gui based network/credentials sniffer? It sounds like a neat idea for a project. I do not...
