Asking what's the use of ubuntu is almost the same as asking what's the use of PC. PC is windows and Ubuntu is Linux, does the same thing as PC except.. way better from security to programming.

I believe i figured it out. I PMed H@L0_F00 and he helped me. Well it worked on mine, you can test it on yours and see if it does as well. 1- Download BT4 final and ubuntu9-10 iso 2- Extract bt4 using 7zip or whatever else you use. 3- copy the casper and boot folders. This is the code... pay close attention to it. Except for bt4 casper, menu.lst and grldr, I copied into another folder named "boot". You don't need to do it so in case you did not, change the path of your files. My BT4 code: title -=- BackTrack 4: Penetration testing toolkit -=- configfile /boot/bootBT4/grub/BT4menu.lst savedefault My BT4 menu list: splashimage /boot/bootBT4/grub/bt4.xpm.gz color red/black red/black default 4 timeout 30 foreground red background black title -=Start BackTrack FrameBuffer (1024x768)=- root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/bootBT4/vmlinuz BOOT=casper boot=casper nopersistent rw quiet vga=0x317 initrd=/boot/bootBT4/initrd.gz title -=Start BackTrack FrameBuffer (800x600)=- kernel /boot/bootBT4/vmlinuz BOOT=casper boot=casper nopersistent rw quiet vga=0x314 initrd=/boot/bootBT4/initrd800.gz title -=Start BackTrack Forensics (no swap)=- root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/bootBT4/vmlinuz BOOT=casper boot=casper nopersistent rw vga=0x317 initrd=/boot/bootBT4/initrd.gz title -=Start BackTrack in Safe Graphical Mode=- root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/bootBT4/vmlinuz BOOT=casper boot=casper xforcevesa rw quiet initrd=/boot/bootBT4/initrd.gz title -=Start Persistent Live CD=- root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/bootBT4/vmlinuz BOOT=casper boot=casper persistent rw quiet initrd=/boot/bootBT4/initrd.gz title -=Start BackTrack in Text Mode=- root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/bootBT4/vmlinuz BOOT=casper boot=casper nopersistent textonly rw quiet initrd=/boot/bootBT4/initrd.gz title -=Start BackTrack Graphical Mode from RAM=- root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/bootBT4/vmlinuz BOOT=casper boot=casper toram nopersistent rw quiet initrd=/boot/bootBT4/initrd.gz title kernel initrd title -=Memory Test=- kernel /boot/bootBT4/memtest86+.bin title -=Boot the First Hard Disk=- root (hd0) chainloader +1 title -=Main-menu=- configfile /menu.lst ------------------------------------------------------------ Now my Ubuntu code: title -=- Ubuntu 9-10 LiveCD - Linux OS -=- find --set-root /boot/Ubuntu-910.iso map /boot/Ubuntu-910.iso (0xff) map --hook root (0xff) kernel /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdroom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/boot/Ubuntu-910.iso quiet splash locale=en.UTF-8 -- initrd /casper/initrd.lz N.B.: YOU DO NOT NEED TO EXTRACT UBUNTU, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU DO NOT NEED ITS CASPER FOLDER. THE ONLY CASPER FOLDER YOU WILL NEED IT THE BT4 ONE. You can put "persistent" for Ubuntu if you wish. Thanks a lot H@L0_F00 Now i can finally move to usb hacksaw. I'd really appreciate it if anyone can send me in the right direction, as what to download, what to install, and tutorials on how to use it. Thanks

yes, recuecd and initram.igz. So your menu would be something like this: title System Rescue CD: repair unbootable or otherwise. damaged computer systems root (hd0,0) kernel /rescuecd initrd=initram.igz video=ofonly vga=0 scandelay=5 initrd /initram.igz

Thanks, it works. I put everything (except menu.lst and grldr) into a hidden folder on the usb as to make sure that they are secure (sort of the way real usb programs are done). Now all i have to do is change the path of all the files in the menu list and backtrack menu list.

i have a 16GB thumb drive, i have more than 11GB left but somehow that file doesn't want to go. I tried xcopy and so on. I just used unetbootin to burn the iso image to my usb but then the volume changes from 1.4Gb to 0 byte. Bracktrack does boot but it stucks at the loading page (i think it's the one before this: http://miss-networks.com/wp-content/upload...-backtrack.jpg). And i wanted to pend the day to work on hacksaw....

nope. For some reason, it's the only file in the casper folder that i cannot copy. I don't know if maybe it's because of the size (1.4GB); although i doubt.

Thanks i have the same thing but i think it's because my casper folder is missing this file: filesystem.squashfs, and i cant put it back on

Is anyone here who's Backtrck4 is working "really" well. Somehow mine now refuses to go past this: Start BackTrack FrameBuffer, Start BackTrack Forensics and so on.

wow...i don't know wat to tell you bro. You and i have the same thing for konboot and Sys Rescue CD, mine are working perfectly well ( i tried them on my XP and Vista) and yet yours aren't. That's weird

@ Charles ... is your Ubuntu menu different and does it boot well?

This is my menu.lst I/ Backtrack -Unzip ur iso file using 7zip and copy the 2 boot folder - This part is VERY IMPORTANT: make sure you go to boot/grub/menu.lst and change the original menu.lst ** as you will see below, i changed the name of my boot from boot to bootBT4 II/ Ubuntu9-10 - You need the iso file in your MultiPass root - make another copy of the iso file (on your desktop and unzip it), then copy the casper file III/Overall - MAKE SURE THAT THE NAME & EXTENSIONS OF THE FILES (ISO, IMG and so on) IN YOUR MULTIPASS IS THE SAME AS THE ONES IN YOUR MENU - If you have any question just let me know and i'll try the best that i can to help.
