Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
There shouldn't be any other differences, but being a bit paranoid I don't like to trust images from just anyone. I did however just discover a post from someone called zitstif that includes a good...

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
It supports up to 4GB. The image included in the first post here should fit, or you can reformat your memory card to ext3 or whatever you prefer and use the official BT5 image. I've posted a link to...

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
If you compiled the BT5 kernel and ran it, you would no longer be running Fremantle at all, you would be running BackTrack.
There's technically nothing stopping you from doing it, other than the...

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
If you really want to add BT5 repos to Debian, then that's your prerogative, but please don't call it BT5 or BackTrack at all. It's not BackTrack, and you're just going to confuse people like the...

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
Hey guys, regarding memory issues and swap space, a MarshmallowGoat pointed out on my blog that we can probably use swap files instead of making partitions. I hadn't thought of that, but I bet he's...

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
For what it's worth, the BackTrack team highly discourages trying to add BackTrack repos into a normal Ubuntu install, as they have done a lot of tweaking with both the kernel and the packages, and...

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
It shouldn't make any difference, as long as it's not being mounted on top of something important that already exists. /mnt/ is just a good logical place to mount things, but you can really mount...

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
I can't speak for sure about your xfce errors, but the terminal crashing sounds like exactly the problem I was having due to no free memory.

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
Azkay, see my previous post. I originally quoted the wrong message somehow. Your issues sound like what happened to me when I started running out of RAM.

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
It'll happen again. You're running out of RAM. You’ll need to add a swap partition. It makes stuff go a lot smoother. I used gparted on my laptop to shrink my memory card’s ext3 parition down a bit...

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
Another good thing to keep in mind is that since BT5 is based off of a reasonably modern Ubuntu, and usually comes with a lot of compiling dependencies installed or easily available, it should be...

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
For some reason John is included, but compiled for x86, and so it won't run on the ARM processor in the N900. You should be able to download John and compile it for ARM yourself though, I would...

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
yeah, I was really disappointed to see that as well. I believe the reasoning behind it is that since they expected this to be primarily run on Android devices, and there are no Android wireless...

Are you actually having problems with VNC on yours, or have you not tried it yet? I actually find mine to work sufficiently well. I think any real problems with it are due to the N900 being...

Re: BackTrack 5 (arm) released
Glad it helps :-)
