Asus EEE Pc Install issues

[Buzzed]

Hi,

This is my first attempt at installing this program and using linux.

I followed your instructions via:

i-hacked.com/content/view/260/1/

I chose to use the .iso image and use USB ISO Boot Loader to load the .iso image onto my thumb drive. I am able to boot via thumb drive without any issues.

First thing is I don't get this option:
"BT3 Graphics mode (Compiz) - Experimental"

so i used the BT3 graphics mode with KDE.

When i try to get the ssd setup to install backtrack as the priomary os, i get to this step and have issues:

mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdc1

I get error /dev/hdc1 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!

no matter how many times i type umount /dev/hdc1 followed with a
mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdc1 i get that same message. i have rebooted several times and even wiped everything and started from scratch.

I am using BackTrack 3 Beta - 14-12-2007
Description: CD Image
Size: ~ 700 MB
MD5: 04ed8742fc8facd1ecc8c9f6f567c116
SHA: 70c33e0aa75a978b8a87a207bf488ecec8d10a87

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't wait to use this software.

Thanks in advance.

FYI those instructions are from another website that really has nothing to do with the forums here. The only similarities is that they installed Backtrack onto a eeepc. But the good news is that you are at the official support forum for backtrack.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't wait to use this software.
Thanks in advance.

There is a tutorial here on using the eeepc with BT.
Good luck.

thank you for the reply.

If I want to install it on the hard drive would I follow the same instructions and replace /sda with /hdc1?

Thanks

Also. Any instructions for a mac user?

To do what? As for the internal hard drive, yes, that sounds about right.
