Wikipedia is implementing a system to color code the reliability of edits made to documents. Now I can tell my teachers to STFU about Wikipedia not being a "credible source." It's hardly ever my only reference in the first place. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/08/wikitrust/

Haha, a "decent war?" What would qualify as a decent war? And, it's usually weapon and war vehicle inventions that are spurred by war. What we need is less idiots, high school drop outs, and ignorant authority (teachers, parents, etc. that are hindering a child's true potential.)

What have you tried and what errors do you get? Post it in another topic as to not get Psychosis' post off topic.

50+ downloads! :D I'm glad you all find this useful.

Is your "casper" folder on the root of your drive? Without modifying scripts in the inird the folder "casper" must be on the root of your drive, otherwise you'll get dropped to the BusyBox shell. I'm going to work on modifying the initrd files/scripts and I'll post a guide of doing it after I post the guide to editing the Ophcrack scripts in order to make it search for the tables in a different area.

I'd appreciate it! :D haha You could use it for a number of things though. You might not always want to have your current desktop doing everything. It could be a torrent seedbox if you're into P2P, a physical test box for anything and everything, it could be a mod project, etc. Wanna automate things in your house? Use it as the control center. If you'd like to automate, voice command, etc. things around you house you might wanna read about X10 technology (Although their site looks like a rip-off/cc stealing sit for some reason... o.o ) and look here.

I think he/she/it means that if there is any error in the file system of casper-rw it won't boot. Like maybe you didn't specify a command while making it, assuming you made it.

I don't think device.map is going to help any since the device isn't recognized at all. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=153679 How did you boot? Was the flash drive plugged in already? Or did you boot, then plug it in? Might wanna try both scenarios. What's the make/model of your laptop? And is the BIOS up-to-date?

Actually found out today that my schools AV deletes this instantly. Gonna have to find out what they use and kill it I guess.

/me votes mental.

What isn't wrong with everything the way it is now? Why stop advancing? Why not reach our full potential as human beings? That's like not trying at a game, sport, etc. because you feel you're already good enough. That gets you nowhere but backwards. Without new advancements and people striving to make the world a better place or even just to learn and create new things we could start easily start devolving into ignorant existence where everything is the way it is, nothing gets better, and nobody can make it better just because. That world doesn't sound quite pleasurable, it even reminds me to the world of Oceania in the book 1985 by George Orwell or the society in Anthem by Ayn Rand. Both are awesome books, you might wanna check them out. It might open your eyes a bit to why we do what we do and why we are who we are. Then again, it might not.

School systems are quite oblivious to the way this whole justice system works. If they say you did it, you did it... Even if I could turn it against them by going to court, my parents and everyone at school would know and see me as the server cracking, virus spreading, hacker that we all are... <_<

Maybe the casper file(s) has to be in a folder named "casper" on your root like with BT4 without editing your init scripts? And just so you know, I don't think it's the init script itself that finds and mounts the casper file system, init calls a bunch of other scripts. I plan on working on figuring out how to move around the casper folder though which shouldn't be too hard or time consuming since I've messed with Ophcrack successfully.

I actually started trying to figure out how to make Ophcrack look in a different folder for the tables a little less than a week ago. I had never touched an initrd or init script ever before. I didn't know that it was archived with both gzip AND cpio. After I discovered this, I tried to edit Ophcrack's initrd in Back|Track... Not a good idea. The file permissions were all screwed up. I finally did get it working though so now I have Ophcrack looking in a couple subdirectories for the tables and it also mounts NTFS and FAT32 file systems as rw so I can save passwords, user names, etc. I plan on working on Back|Track 4 PreFinal next in order to get the damn "casper" folder off the root of my flash drive and with the rest of the BT4 files/folders. That should be easy now that I have an idea of what I'm doing and how to do it. I'll post a guide for editing Ophcrack's initrd when I have enough time. It might take a while because I see it as being quite a long tutorial, but it shouldn't take > 3 days for me to get around to it. By all means, try to do it yourself though because that's how you learn and finding things out yourself is much more fun and rewarding when you accomplish what you set out to do :)

Please don't change things around if you aren't sure it will still operate the same. Like the splashimage and default commands. They need to be before everything because Grub4DOS executes the file by the order it appears.

Since there's been so many new guides and useful posts coming about I think there are now too many to sticky them all separately, so I'm making this topic, with links to all the things people should take a look at before posting so only one post needs to be stickied.

Well, does the VM even recognize the drive? Boot it up and go to VM > Removable Devices and see if it shows up. If it does and it's not connected, connect it.

No

Since you have Workstation just edit the VM

Drives don't always show up as the same device in two different distros, let alone Grub4DOS and Ubuntu. To find out which device it could be in Grub4DOS enter the command line by pressing 'c' after you boot. Type in "root (" and then press TAB. This will show all available drives. Try chainloading different ones. I'm quite certain the drive and the "+1" command need to be one string which also might be what's giving you the error. Use "(drive)+1" instead of "(drive) +1"

Actually, setting it to mount the SD card based on the UUID would be the best bet if you were able to get it working because then you wouldn't have to worry about the drive showing up as a different device on a different machine (which happens quite often in Linux). The only way I know of doing this is modifying /etc/fstab. Modifying the init scripts isn't quite easy. I just started learning about it and it took me about a week just to modify the Ophcrack scripts to search for the tables in "/.multiboot/Ophcrack/tables" as well as mounting all FAT32 and NTFS file systems as rw so that I can save passwords, user names, etc. I'll post a guide on it when I get the time (probably < 3 days) so that you may follow it if you'd like, but you'll want to modify different scripts and lines than I did and you'll have to figure out what those scripts and lines are. And with that command, the '|' is called a pipe. It takes the output of the first command and "pipes it" to the second command. The same thing could be achieved by doing: gunzip ../initrd.cpio.gz cpio -id &lt; ../initrd.cpio Note: Use the same distro as root to extract/modify/compress the scripts so that the file permissions stay the same. This was a big problem I had before I realized what was happening and why.

Is there a help function with Grub2? With Grub4DOS you could use "help map" and it would give you info about "map." You might want to try something like "help devicemap" and see if it returns anything. EDIT: Just checked, "help" is still implemented in Grub2. Here's a list of the commands.

Grub2 isn't necessary, and probably not the best bet yet. You can use GRUB or Grub4DOS and they should both work fine. You'll need on or the bootloaders on both your hard drive and your flash drive because you'll have to chainload from the hdd to the flash drive.

It's a command called "drivemap" that has replaced "map" but I can't find hardly any info on it

Alright, I tried multiple ways and multiple times but couldn't successfully boot from Grub4DOS to PLoP to Grub4DOS to anything on my menu. I think I'll burn a cd though to see if that works
