First things first... > Partition your disc > I've these 3 partitions up: sda1=/boot sda2=swap sda3= / > Boot your live cd and open a bash shell and begin > If your swap is not yet made then do this.. (otherwise omit this step) bt~#mkswap /dev/sda2 bt~#swapon /dev/sda2

Keep Going... bt~#mkdir /mnt/backtrack bt~#mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/backtrack/ bt~#mkdir /mnt/backtrack/boot/ bt~#mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/backtrack/boot/ (note: If you only have one partiton to install backtrack to simply omit this step) bt~#cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,usr,etc,lib,opt,sbin,va r} /mnt/backtrack/ << note: there is no space in var. Seems to be a glitch in the matrix bt~#mkdir /mnt/backtrack/{mnt,proc,sys,tmp} bt~#mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/backtrack/dev/ bt~#mount -t proc proc /mnt/backtrack/proc/ bt~#cp /boot/vmlinuz /mnt/backtrack/boot/

Almost there... > Now for lilo- bt~#chroot /mnt/backtrack/ /bin/bash bt~#nano /etc/lilo.conf > Now I like to delete some things in the lilo config file so here is what mine would look like.

Voilà! and there you have it... > Save that and then execute lilo (I'm using the verbose flag) bt~#lilo -v > Exit your chroot enviorment bt/~exit > Reboot and cross your fingers bt~#reboot

> Save that and then execute lilo (I'm using the verbose flag)

bt~#lilo -v

> Exit your chroot enviorment

bt/~exit

> Reboot and cross your fingers

bt~#reboot
