TUTORIAL: BT3 final live install with changes, swap and data partitions

[operat0r]

you can backup changes to a .gz file and restore them if you muck up the setup !

* download USB iso of BT3 final
* download ISO of GPARTED
* boot from GPARTED
* seletet your USB drive from the uppterright drop down ( sda in my example)
I havea 4 gig stick so this is what mine looks like

1.5gig fat32 ( the boot part )
1gig SWAP ( duhhh swap .. )
the rest is EXT2 ( data and changes partition )

once you set that up make sure you click APPLY
( REMEMBER the EXT2 path you will need it for syslinux.cfg you may need to mount the EXT2 partiton and make the /changes folder ...
changes )


* boot to windows
* copy everything on the ISO to the USB stick ( my example G: you can use winimage etc to open the ISO )
* open the syslinux.cfg in wordpad etc and edit the first line with append and add
changes=/dev/sda3

NOTE: compiz was way slow for me ... so I set KDE to top default...
it will look like this:

LABEL cubez
MENU LABEL BT3 Graphics mode (Compiz) - Experimental
KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz
APPEND changes=/dev/sda3 vga=0x317 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz



* goto dos
cd g:\boot\syslinux
syslinux.com -ma -d g:\boot\syslinux g: ( MAKE SURE YOU USE .EXE not .COM :)

* safely remove the USB stick and boot !

:: You can easily install slapt-get through Fasttrack, and if you need the GUI frontend, Gslapt, it should not be hard to add manually.


THANKS TO ALL DEVS and everybody if anybody needs anything please let me know !

Does this work with the CD version of BT3 instead ?

(the usb version hasn't the latest update of aircrack-ng :-/ )

(the usb version hasn't the latest update of aircrack-ng :-/ )Since this tutorial is for a live install with persistant changes this should not be an issue, simply update it to the latest version.

No, the issue is "where does the aircrack-ng update can be downloaded", because on the official website, the version is older than on BT3 CD version.

No, the issue is "where does the aircrack-ng update can be downloaded", because on the official website, the version is older than on BT3 CD version.Could you please type out which version of aircrack-ng can be found in the CD respective USB version of BT3F? I checked your previous bug-report thread, but you fail to mention this piece of information there as well. Also, as to not hjack this thread post the information in your bug-report thread instead.

Since you seem to have both versions already you could always just copy over the never version of aircrack-ng instead of downloading it.
