[new here..making a multipass]

You only need boot and casper.

The other ones are extra. The [boot] folder is the bootable part of the image, you can delete it.

The usb version of BT4 Final?

[Backtrack 4 final is giving me some problems that I am unable to solve]

What's under "storage" ?

It would probably work by copying casper and boot to the root of the thumb drive and seeing if it runs like that, without modifying the directories.

That's so strange. Have you tried a different stick?

[Backtrack 4 final is giving me some problems that I am unable to solve]

That's real strange. What does the directory structure look like when you make it with unetbootin?

Yes I am a lazy student, but I'll get my degree eventually. :P

Have you tried burning it to a dvd and booting off it to see if it has the same error?

[new here..making a multipass]

I'm guessing that's why running Kon-Boot. You'd need to have another OS on the drive for it to work.

Ah gotcha, I got the adapter from Data Alliance, based in the US.

Thanks!

That should be fine. Did you verify the md5sum of the iso before extracting it the to USB key?

BT4 is in a folder called bt4final

Here's my menu.lst entry for BT4 final:

Where did you order it from, if you don't mind me asking?

[Darpa: U.S. Geek Shortage Is National Security Risk]

Sad but true.

What file system is your multipass using?

[new here..making a multipass]

If it's running U3, you can remove it from the U3 menu that pops up I believe.

[new here..making a multipass]

1: Yes, you would need a separate partition if you wanted to store data on the drive.

2: Check the thread here: http://hak5.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=13842

I posted both my directory tree and menu.lst near the last page of the thread. There's also some very good info there.

[Would an Alfa Networks "AWUS036NH" work with BT4?]

Awesome.

Thanks for the reply!

[Would an Alfa Networks "AWUS036NH" work with BT4?]

Really stupid question I suppose, but since I saw Darren mention the b/g adapter for aircracking using Backtrack.

I wonder if this one would work with it, since it's a different chipset: RT3070 vs Realtek 8187L.

I might just order the AWUS036H for good measure. (since that's on the HCL for BT4).

Thoughts or suggestions?

[BackTrack 4 Final is out!]

I was confused about the networking of BT before I poked around and found that it said it wasn't enabled by default.

At least enabling it is as simple as running one command.

[Active Directory]

Could be that I was looking at the wrong ones.

2008 Standard.

2008 SBS

Both are OEM, with not much description.

[Active Directory]

I see.

Thanks! That definitely sounds like it would be worth the price.

Totally agree that Linux is lacking in some of the features, mostly the stuff that AD does among other things. Such a shame.

[Active Directory]

What's the difference?

Outside of price: Server 2008 Standard: 680. SBS 2008: 740.

[Active Directory]

I was thinking about setting up a server 2003 box using AD and whatnot for my home file server. The cost was too high to only use a few features of it. So I went with a Linux server and learned a bit.

I'd say it wouldn't be worth the cost for only a small amount of machine (2-10) but if you are doing an admin of 25+, it would totally be worth it.

[BackTrack 4 Final is out!]

Yeah, there is a utility to remove the U3 part. It's in the U3 menu thinger that launches.

[Im having problems....]

You need to defrag ubuntu910.iso using something like contig.

Either that or deleting it and copying it over again.
