That looks like a proper installation to me. You don't use Linux much do you?

Type "startx" and hit Enter. Should give you a desktop with a cursor and everything.

Yep what Goatboy said, I think there used to be another option of starting up when you got to that point think it was that you typed Flux though I've tried that on mine and nothing happens - might just have been on earlier distros.

Indeed, there's a simpler, cleaner, GUI that comes with BackTrack 4. Can't remember what's its called, though I do recommend it over KDE.

Also since you don't seem all that familiar with backtrack just to let you know that networking is disabled by default.

run

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/networking start

to get interfaces up. You will need to do that everytime you boot your system up, there's a tutorial on how to make it permanent. Google it.

Also WICD daemon, required by WICD, isn't run by default either so go over to /usr/lib/wicd (if I remember correctly otherwise "locate wicd") and ./wicd-daemon.py That should help you get wireless access a bit more easily (if you're using a wireless AP) rather than using iwconfig directly.

I'm assuming /etc/rc.local exists on BackTrack, just add that line of code into it and it'll get run at start-up.

Figured I'd save you a Google search

Code: Select all

dhclient eth0

worked permanently for me. That's assuming you have a wired connection.
