My installation is going great. No problems no anything of that kind. One thing I’m noticing right now, is that the Final Edition has less software than the Beta, at least there is no Saint, the main reason I want to try BackTrack.

BT4 is taking a great deal of time to get installed in the VM. It gets stuck at 22%, 23%, and so on. Is this normal? If not, then some one please guide ..

Great tutorial. I use the final version, but ams still learning alot about it. It doesn’t ask you to create a user when you install it, but once installed under root there is an option to add users, and from there you can choose what permissions they get. You can also go in and edit the root password as if it is windows box with out havign to use the command line.

I have done this some time ago and worked. From what I remember you can enable windows sharing through the VM menu>Settings(or properties)>Advanced and you should find a sharing option. After you share a windows folder, you can access it within Backtrack from /mnt/hgfs

Thanks for this nice tutorial. But I am still facing some problems.
There were some differences.
My configuration is as follows:
Ubuntu 9.04 : Host
Backtrack 4 : Guest
VMware workstation 7

There was only /dev/cdrom3.
After the installation I found there was no Autorun in ~/.kde, I was under ~/.Kde3
and inside /user/lib/vmware-tools/bin and /user/lib/vmware-tools/bin32, I found :
apploader, configure-gtk.sh vmware-tpvmlp, vmware-tpvmlpd, vmware-user-loader and others but couldn’t find any vmware-toolbox-gtk.

- Help needed.

Hello Jonas,

I have installed the prefinal version which works great, so unfortunately I did not try the final BT4 yet. Have you tried the vmware BT4 version? I will try the vmware version soon and right a new post here.
