Hi,

I know that lots of this stuff has been posted, but I thought that I would bring it together here.

This is how I have configured my Back|Track full HDD installation. All text in bold is done from the bash prompt.

If you do not like the command line logon and want the KDE desktop to start automatically.

nano /etc/inittab

change the following line:

id:3:initdefault:

to

id:4:initdefault:


If you want leetmode to start automatically.

cd /root/.kde/Autostart

ln -s /usr/bin/leetmode leetmode

That will create a link to leetmode in your autostart directory.


If you want to stop your CDROM from ejecting on reboots and shutdowns, you need to alter the shutdown script.

cd /etc/rc.d

nano rc.6

Find the relevant piece of code and alter it to look like the following

# eject cdrom devices
. ./usr/lib/liblinuxlive
#echo "Ejecting all CDROMs..."
#list_cdrom_devices | while read DEVICE; do
# cdrecord dev=$DEVICE -eject >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
# can't use eject because it's not working with our kernel
# eject -s $DEVICE >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
#done
echo "========================================"
echo "It's safe to switch the computer off now"
echo -ne "Press Enter to $command "
read junk


I also placed a shortcut to Konqueror on my shortcut panel menu (the bottom left shortcut icons).

I did this by right clicking on any of the shortcut icons,
Panel Menu, Add to Panel, Application, Internet, Web Browser (Konqueror)

You will now see a new shortcut next to the /pentest shortcut, this will start Konqueror.


I hope this helps by bringing some of these actions into one thread, thanks to all that have posted this information in other threads.

Edit:

Thanks HTSPilot for reminding me! To autostart YaKuake, which will give you a terminal (bash) window at the press of a button.

cd /root/.kde/Autostart

ln -s /opt/kde/bin/yakuake yakuake

Now when you restart the KDE, just press F12 to start a bash prompt.
