If you are just using terminal you can hit ALT + F2 to open a new tab then u can just hit ALT F1 to go back to your original tab. This is nice for using backtrack straight from terminal.
So I have an acer laptop and I'm running bt4 off of a CD from startup. According to all of the tutorials on how to crack WEP that I have looked at, you need to have multiple cmd prompts open. Since startx isn't working (it simply says "FATAL ERROR: NO SCREEN FOUND) is there another way to have multiple command prompts or tabs open and switch between them? My adapter works fine and the FAQ has nothing on this.
