How To INSTALL Linux (Backtrack) In A Virtual Machine – Part 1
Posted on 15 July 2010 by Abidoon
This tutorial shows how to INSTALL Backtrack 4 to a VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk) in VMWare Player or VMWare Workstation along with VMWare Tools.. These steps can be used to install any Linux OS or even Windows OS. Keep in mind, this isn’t the same as referencing an ISO directly but rathering installing the OS as you would on your hard-drive while still remaining Virtual. I also go over how to change your resolution in Backtrack, login as a root user, and install VMWare Tools. LINKS: Backtrack 4 Download: www.backtrack-linux.org VMWare Player: www.filehippo.com Enjoy 
I’m using the VM-image and log-in with root and then do the steps you told me
Go to K Menu -> Settings -> System Administration -> User Management
but there isn’t a user management tab.
I also did the one in the video using the backtrack iso image and got the same result.
In your video you’re on a desktop pc.
is this a requirement?
WTF Man you have 5 TB hard disk!! O.O

hey mate, i set it all up and installed backtrack, but it never asked me to make a login or password.
Now when it restarted its asking for login and password, but i didnt make one.
what can i do?!
Any reason as to why it doesn’t save my network interface config? Every time on startup I have to set eth0 to up and use dhclient.
A question for you. For some reason, my vmware can’t find the wireless adapter. I’m using intel 5100. I try to add it from virtual machine setting. But it can’t find it.
@Alexandrus
Username : root
Pass: toor
Its asking me for a login, what’s the username and password?

i was on this backtrack and then it took me to like a log on thing and the user was root and i put toor for it but it wont let me log in
can it also let you use the c drive instead of the h
do you need a disk for this?
@TheBrad32 I am getting the same problem. It is after you run backtrack that it happens the screen gos to after where you press enter for the resolution and then when the sd is loading that happens.
Once you’ve logged into the desktop you can do the following to create a new user:
- Go to K Menu -> Settings -> System Administration -> User Management
- Click on Administrator Mode (Enter in your current password)
- Select New and proceed with creating the desired user-account. Close out when done.
- Open a Terminal (Shell) window and tpye: kdesu konqueror
- Enter / as the location and Right-Click on the Home directory -> Properties -> Permissions and grant View/Modify to Group/Other
