Sparda Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 External CD drive or USB booting memory stick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colforbin Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 k i have a 1 gig thumbdrive.. what would i need to download to get bt3 to install off of it? ~silent The easiest way to install BackTrack 3 Final in your situation is to download the USB Version (Extended) from here, and use unetbootin to create a bootable USB thumdrive. From there, head on over to the remote-exploit forums and use their search function to research the best method to install to your hard disk, to suit your needs. You might also want to look here, or look at the BackTrack wiki also. Don't forget to look at the BackTrack wiki's Hardware Compatibility List, to see what works. Even if your specific hardware is not listed, don't fret. Sift through the remote-exploit forums, and google your fingers silly, and I'm sure you'll get it squared away. Remember: Google is our friend. Good luck to you. Be well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeryth Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I have the Wind u100 [it's the same hardware] and unfortunately not everything in BT3 works out of the box, you'll have to hack it a bit after installation. You need drivers for the wifi card, the touchpad doesn't always work, and there are some problems with graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentknight329 Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 k so do u know where i could get the drivers, probably the msi website.. but i'm kinda lazy.. sorry but i'm really digging the open suse i might just keep that. and because it has an sd card slot would it be easier to install off of that or would a memory stick be better? i'm kinda new to this crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeryth Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I think you're better off just installing all the pentesting stuff on your existing SUSE installation. Anyway, check out the forums and wiki at http://www.msiwind.net it's a great community, everything you need is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emeryth Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 That's one of the problems I was talking about, you have to edit the xorg.conf to use the vesa driver instead of intel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InternetBlogAddict Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 You maybe better off installing Ubuntu, then virtualizing (in Virtualbox) BT3 when necessary. The newest release of Ubuntu seems to have a lot more driver support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
