potato Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hi everyone, I would like to install the gnome 64 bit version of backtrack 5r1 on my new laptop ( dell latitude d630 4gb ram dual core 2.0ghz 500gb hdd Intel graphics) and I don't have any blank dvds's and would like to try setting up a pxe server on my desktop running windows 7 and installing backtrack 5. I was able to set up a pxe server and boot windows pe so I can install windows over pxe but what about Backtrack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no experience with doing this with BT but alternatively you could always install on an old USB or run in a VM like I do.. on a side note how did you setup your PXE server? (whats it running, etc) .. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(whats it running, etc) .. thanks I am using TFTPD and a crossover ethernet cable. I was able to boot into windows pe, I am now trying to boot backtrack 5. Dose anyone know of a pxe server program that lets you send an iso? I would rather do a dual boot than run a vm and my only flash drive I have atm is 2gb and the backtrack iso is just over 2gb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamo Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Well 8gb usb stick is like 9.99€ and I bet you would get easier by buying a bigger usb stick. Could you use that installer which basic ubuntu comes with to install bt to your laptop, and is it possible to customize bt disk to remove some packages and then install them later.

It would be cool to use the ubuntu installer that pops up in windows but idk how to get it to work for backtrack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

int0x80 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I recently added Backtrack to my PXE setup at home. Asserting you already have a working PXE setup with NFS, my tftp root is at /store/tftpboot. 0. Create Backtrack PXE directories: mkdir -p /store/tftpboot/backtrack/5/R1/x{86,64}/{kde,gnome} 1. Mount iso and copy contents to PXE Backtrack directory: sudo mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 BT5R1-KDE-32.iso /mnt cp -av /mnt/* /store/tftpboot/backtrack/5/R1/x86/kde/ umount /mnt Repeat as needed for other permutations. 2. Add exports to NFS: # /etc/exports /store/tftpboot/backtrack/5/R1/x64/kde 192.168.1.0/24(ro,sync,no_subtree_check) /store/tftpboot/backtrack/5/R1/x86/kde 192.168.1.0/24(ro,sync,no_subtree_check) Repeat as needed for other permutations. 3. Create a backtrack.menu file for PXE: LABEL 21 MENU LABEL Backtrack 5 R1 x86 KDE KERNEL /backtrack/5/R1/x86/kde/casper/vmlinuz APPEND initrd=/backtrack/5/R1/x86/kde/casper/initrd.gz boot=casper text vga=789 netboot=nfs nfsroot=your.LAN.IP.addr:/store/tftpboot/backtrack/5/R1/x86/kde TEXT HELP Boot the Backtrack 5 R1 x86 KDE Live CD ENDTEXT LABEL 22 MENU LABEL Backtrack 5 R1 x64 KDE KERNEL /backtrack/5/R1/x64/kde/casper/vmlinuz APPEND initrd=/backtrack/5/R1/x64/kde/casper/initrd.gz boot=casper text vga=789 netboot=nfs nfsroot=your.LAN.IP.addr:/store/tftpboot/backtrack/5/R1/x64/kde TEXT HELP Boot the Backtrack 5 R1 x64 KDE Live CD ENDTEXT Repeat as needed for other permutations. 4. Add the Backtrack menu into your pxelinux.cfg/default: MENU BEGIN Backtrack MENU TITLE Backtrack LABEL Previous MENU LABEL Previous Menu TEXT HELP Return to previous menu ENDTEXT MENU EXIT MENU SEPARATOR MENU INCLUDE backtrack/backtrack.menu MENU END Restart your nfs and tftp daemons and you should be good to go.

SJ every day. I don't remember Hak5 doing a PXE server setup. So sounds like it would be an excellent segment to do int0x80. :D You could go into detail on what programs are needed and how to add a few Distros to the PXE with maybe a nice boot screen to it? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
