Re: Re: backtrack iso booting from grub2

I got backtrack 5 iso to boot on multiboot grub2 usb drive. I got the
info from a backtrack help forum. This trick is to extract the "casper"
directory, placing it in the root of the  usb drive (not in any other
directory).

My menuentry is as follows:

menuentry "BackTrack 5 32 bit" {
linux /casper/vmlinuz BOOT=casper boot=casper nopersistent rw vga=0x317
--
initrd /casper/initrd.gz 
}

DO NOT use (loop) in the above menu -- it won't work (and there is no
loopback).

You will boot into a terminal. Then you shout enter "start networking"
command (without quotation marks). After this you enter "startx" command
and you should be presented with a BackTrack 5 gui environment
