re: The Movie Transcript and: Installation Howto
Note: In the video there's an instruction to cp /boot/boot/vmlinuz /mnt/backtrack/boot This is for previous releases of BackTrack, BT2 final command should be cp /boot/vmlinuz /mnt/backtrack/boot
- Where is the applicable instruction in the movie transcript to which the above note applies?

I was unable to find any forums or mailing list for BackTrack, so I'll post my question here. First off, a big thank you to the developers for releasing this very cool distro. I managed to install it to my USB memory stick and am typing this from my wireless laptop while running BT2. My question is this: What exactly does the configsave script save when you run it? I made several changes including fixing the xorg.conf file, setting up a couple of wireless networks, and some other settings. The configsave script made the slaxconf.mo file in the root of my USB drive, but when I boot up again and ask it to use the saved config, it appears that none of my changes survived. Any suggestions?
- try to post this in the forum : forums.remote-exploit.org
- also check the BackTrack IRC channel, #remote-exploit on irc.freenode.net
BackTrack 2.0 final , automated download and installation on USB Stick from windows
HOW CAN I PUT THIS LINKED TO OTHER HOWTOS
I have coded this past days a gui for downloading and installing BT2 to a usb stick, flash card or usb hd in a way that the king of newbeez can do it so if your interested in this freeware, here is the link, feel free to ask questions, feedbacks welcome.....:
BT 2 USB 4 Windows :

1)What the hell is it ?
The purpose of the BackTrack 2.0 Downloader and USB-Stick burner for Windows, is like for BT1, and previous betas(based on slax 5 .mo) to install BackTrack 2.0 in a few clicks to a USB-Stick under Windows systems, in a convenient and user friendly interface.
This operation is still possible with MSC, but only for BT1 an BT2betas based on slax 5 .mo standard. BackTrack 2.0 Final is based on slax 6 .lzm standard, so it won't work with MySlaxCreator because of that.
For realize this you'll need to format the Stick, extract the BT and BOOT folder to the USB-Stick from within the bt2final.iso and make the Stick bootable. This 3 operation need to Format in Windows(normal right click format will do the job), need to have an iso software or an archiver software installed in order to mount or extract bt2final.iso, and finaly to run the batch shell file located in /BOOT in order to make it bootable.
So I built a GUI for theses operations with theses characteristics
Built-in Fonctions : Downloading BT2 from mirror User can use also an already downloaded release MD5 Hash control of releases Formating FAT32 USB ISO extraction with 7z Making Stick bootable :
Future-in project Help File Internationalisation of BackTrack's KDE (mean BT in your language directly) Add modules possibility Inclusion of other mirrors Resuming dl Log install feedback Update mirrors and Interface .... Ideas Welcome......
2) How to use ?
First be sure your install dir for USB2USB4WIN doesn't contain spaces or weird characters
1)Choose english 2)Choose if you want to download or to use one of your release 3)When MD5 occurs, screen seems to hang for 1 min, it's normal, will unfreeze 4)Choose the destination, you can only choose removables ones, be sure to select the root of it 5)INSTALL BEGIN, format extraction transfert and make bootable operations are automated 6)You can reboot Windows from the application or not
Thx to BT TEAM....RESPECT....
