Wow. it's been so long.

I had an issue with this

cp --preserve -R \
/{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,usr,boot,etc,lib,opt, sbin,var} /mnt/bt/

In the notes. I changed it to

cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,usr,boot,etc,lib,opt, sbin,var} /mnt/bt/

(THIS IS ONE LINE!!!!!)

and it worked after that. Not sure what that extra SLASH is \

Yes, I too had to remove the extra slash. After that it worked fine

I believe the \ is supposed to signify a line break. But yeah, it shouldn't be typed.

It's an iTard filter.

When I typed the commands in exactly as seen in the PDF (including the \) it worked fine. There were no problems copying any files whatsoever. I did, however hit the enter key after the \ and then type the rest and press enter again. Maybe this is what the original PDF file intended you to do.

Hi masters
I`m an Iranian user of BT4

I followed the installation guide step by step , but stopped in the same line of our friend witch they had problem:

cd --preserved -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,usr,boot,etc,lib,opt,sb in,var} /mnt/bt/

Our friends had typed the command line incorrect and encountered those problems

But I am sure that I have typed the exact command line in my Vmware7 virtual machine

but I encountered the not enough free space error or permission error

I am disappointed



Can any one here help me????

in command line I`ve typed "sbin" without space and in my comment wrote the same thing,but here in the forum it seem to have a space that is incorrect

I have wrote the command line without any extra spaces and exactly like the guide line


plz help me

I have faced this error message:

cp: preserving permissions for `/bt/dev/hdc` : Operation not supported

hhhheeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllppppp me!!!!!!!!!
