BackTrack 5 Installation tutorial

Install BackTrack 5 on Harddisk

NOTE: It is recommended that you have a minimum of 20 GB free disk space to install Backtrack!

• Boot the Backtrack Live Environment.
• At the bash prompt, type startx to enter the GUI.
• Double click the Install Backtrack.sh on the desktop
• Let's run through the installer step by step:

• We select our language, in this case English and then click the Forward button.

• Here we select out geographical location (The Region and Time Zone) and click Forward.

• Chose your keyboard layout. We are going to leave it the default which is USA and click Forward.

• Now it’s time to partition the Disk, for a full Disk installation we choose the “Erase and use the entire disk” option and click Forward.

WARNING: Sometimes the installer will get stuck at difference percentages, leave it for a while as it will move on.

• Hit the Restart Now button, and enjoy Backtrack!

• After the reboot, you can log in with the default username root
•  and password toor. 
• Do not forget to change this default root password by issuing the passwd command.
• As you can see the splash screen disappeared after the reboot. In order to fix it just run fix-splash, and the splash screen will appear on the next boot.
