Run as root?

[Simen236]

I just installed BT 4 on my computer (dual booting with windows 7). But when I try to run for ex. airmon-ng, I get a message telling me to run as root. How do this?

Use sudo.

Good place to start is: Up and Running Backtrack 4 - Offensive Security

maybe the most important thing for u to do(since u just started) is use the search funtion seriously it will help u gain knowledge quicker(cuz u dont have to wait on a reply) and u will be more satisfied since u gained the knowledge on ur own...

if u wnat this to succeed be prepared to read alot.. and i do mean alot...

to answer ur question..

before typing startx try '/etc/init.d/wicd start' and then do startx

(ull only have to enter this 1 time and then it will startup automaticly in the future.)

I had to type this every time, it wouldn't start automatically (until i did updaterc.d wicd defaults)
