Yea, you just install it in a vm like you would on a real computer.

G4? Uhh, no. It's not going to work. Need an Intel processor Macbook, and even then, you'd have problems.

Wow, you're the first person I've ever seen say they like gnome 3 over 2!

If the access point is just an access point, not really. If it's the router, then maybe. Some routers will get the hostname of the machines, some won't. Also some machines won't tell the router...

My suggestion? That search block in the upper right of the forum. This has been answered here at least a dozen times. Failing that, Google has 465,000 answers as well.

We already have a place for basic linux questions. :cool:

I've been trying to get the mods to put a flashing banner at the top of the page that says "Use the Search Button!" for years.... ;)

I'm not saying drive them out. Just make them use the damn search button.

If noobs would use the search button first, it wouldn't be as big a deal. I still see the same questions asked that have been answered waaaaaaay back in the backtrack 2 days.

Seems like every year or so "the test" is brought up. It's a good idea on paper, until you start to try to actually implement it. Which is why I've never seen a site try to use one. In the past...

Yes, it is. Like you said, there used to be some really good posts here, now it's mostly just basic linux questions.

As far as I know, reinstall. It's not really a theme.

Mine shows up white. Did you change the theme?

You do know this is a pentesting distro, and not a beginners linux distro right?

See the tab at the top of this very web site that says "How To"?? Yea, it's like the second how to. http://www.backtrack-linux.org/tutorials/dual-boot-install/

See if this helps, if it doesn't, I've no clue.

nano or vi your password list to make sure the character returns aren't there. Editing password lists from windows will sometimes add them.

What's real fun is when some laptops internal wifi card is actually a usb based wifi card! Then you get the arguments that "yes my internal wifi card does work with backtrack, you just like to screw...

WiFiFoFum doesn't really tell you what direction the signal is coming from either. It's just guessing, and throwing the ssid's on the "radar" image based on signal strength. You'll never get a very...

The closest you're going to get is the n900, but you're not going to install backtrack on it. You can get a lot of the apps in backtrack running on it though. You'll have to use an external wifi...

The atrix doesn't run backtrack natively, and doesn't support injection.

Actually it doesn't matter what the wpa passphrase is. You can make it a 64 completely random character password it it will still get it in about the same time as if it were "Bob", as long as the...

Not really. They could just be using an app that's really chatty on the network.

In a hotel environment it probably isn't one of the folks you're with. You're sharing the internet with everybody else in the hotel. You're not going to see traffic load with airodump, that's not...

The command should be ls /etc/apt/sources.list


You really should have a better understanding of linux before messing with BackTrack.
