Do you want to simply run BackTrack off of the CD, or do you want to install it to your HDD? Either way, you do not need to configure a swap partition for it to operate correctly, but I advise you to have plenty of RAM (1GB at least). If you want to search for more advice on using BackTrack, you should use their forums as this mailing list is really for pen testing subjects and not really for using operating systems. http://forums.remote-exploit.org/ later, On 5/13/07, evb <swiver () cox net> wrote:
