Hi, thanks a lot for your help. I followed the same steps to intall BT3 on VMWare and it worked fine.
Just one question. Has any of you tried to boot the live cd directly in a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4757? Because in my case after saying “loading vmlinuz” it hangs on a black screen and doesn’t boot. Any ideas? Thanks.

I ran backtrack 3.0 on Vmware 6.0 .. Nmap results aren’t too good on windows.. As well the results are quite different as I get from Nmap on Backtrack .. It seems that backtrack ( and other tools ) work with more reliable results as they are closer to the machine .. So I feel running backtrack on my HDD rather than VMware .. the only downside would be I won’t be able to switch 0/S as easily as now

Haven’t tested it yet, but if it works i’m gonna use it fearlessly. What can a man do to you to make you so scared? Considering that life is given without choice and it’s too short - I don’t think anyone deserves a copyright for anything… let alone to block other people’s freedoms and inventions.

For anyone installing DVL Damn vulnerable linux, this works perfectly except yo need to allocate at least 6GB. So don’t be cheap like I was and try to install it on only 3GBs. Also I used 2.4 kernel because DVL is half based off damn small linux DSL.

Many thanks.
