I've been playing around with changing the CD files and remastering the ISO image.
Here's what I've got already...
Reboot a machine with BackTrack. Make sure that is has a writable drive with about 700MB of free space.
Log in as root, open a bash prompt and mount your writable drive.
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
Create a directory in the mounted drive to hold all of the CD's contents.
mkdir /mnt/hda1/newiso
Check the following path, if it does not match exactly, alter it.
/mnt/live/mnt/hdb/*
It could be:
/mnt/live/mnt/hdc/*
Then copy the CD into the newiso directory.
cp -ra /mnt/live/mnt/hdc/* /mnt/hda1/newiso
(depending on the path above!)
This will take a couple of minutes.
cd /mnt/hda1/newiso/base
To autostart leetmode and yakuake:
cd /mnt/hda1/newiso/base
mkdir temproot
mo2dir root.mo temproot
cd temproot/root/.kde/Autostart
ln -s /usr/bin/leetmode leetmode
ln -s /opt/kde/bin/yakuake yakuake
cd /mnt/hda1/newiso/base/temproot
dir2mo root root.mo
cp root.mo /mnt/hda1/newiso/base/
Don't forget to remove the temproot directory and all of it's contents!
cd /mnt/hda1/newiso/base
rm -r temproot
To make the ISO image again.
cd /mnt/hda1/newiso
./make_iso.sh /mnt/hda1/newbacktrack.iso
Now you should have a new .iso file in /mnt/hda1. If you burn that to a CD AS AN ISO IMAGE! you should have the above changes all configured for you.
Do not try to change the inittab file as it screws up the boot process! Take my word for it 
Although I am having problems with the new ISO image, it will not boot properly and crashes, then reboots.
Any help would be appreciated.
many thanks,
