BackTrack Clean Hard Drive Install

This method of installation is the simplest available. The assumption is that the whole hard drive is going to be used for BackTrack.

1. Boot BackTrack on the machine to be installed. Once booted, type in “startx” to get to the KDE graphical
    interface.
2. Double click the “install.sh” script on the desktop, or run the command “ubiquity” in console.


3. Select your geographical location and click “forward”.  Same for the Keyboard layout.
4. The next screen allows you to configure the partitioning layout. The assumption is that we are deleting the 
    whole drive and installing BackTrack 



5. Accept the installation summary and client “Install”. Allow the installation to run and complete. Restart 
    when done.


6. Log into BackTrack with the default username and password root / toor. Change root password.
7. Fix the framebuffer splash by typing “fix-splash” ( or “fix-splash800? if you wish a 800×600 framebuffer), 
     reboot.
