How to Dual Boot BackTrack 1 and Ubuntu 6.06.

(note: this was done with BackTrack v1.00 & v2beta and Ubuntu v6.06)

  • Make partitions using mkfs.ext3 (or mk2fs) 
-The partions will be as follows:
     {Ubuntu}------------hda1
     {Swap}--------------hda2
     {DOS(if you wish)}--hda3
     {Backtrack}---------hda4
  • Install Ubuntu
  • Format the Backtrack partition.
  • Install Backtrack using the install utility off of the Backtrack Live CD to the correct partition (Home & Boot on the same partition aka hda4)
  • Modify your GRUB menu.lst file to look something like this: 
###End Debian...........
..........................
title BackTrack
rootnoverify (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz vga=791 root=/dev/hda4 ro
boot


Then save and restart and you're good to go!
