Very easy actually! Just use fdisk like the instructions say but instead of making the three partitions just make one. Make the file system with mkfs.ext3 and mount it. When you boot into back track go to the installer and install the bootloader to sda or hda and install back track to whatever the partion was that you made. Assuming you are using 1 partion and ide it will probably be /dev/hda1 -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of evb Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2007 10:55 AM To: 'Troy Robinson'; pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: RE: Does Backtrack set a swapfile by default?
