This is the beginning of a series of videos showing the things I learned setting up Backtrack 3 for myself. I liked the resources available to me, so I thought I would put what I know in one spot.(This video is more of a test, mainly because this is the easiest part of getting started)
I am currently using a Compaq Presario v5000 as my laptop. I mainly intend to use Backtrack for wardriving.
More videos on the way.

I am still learning alot, feel free to criticize and rip on me. I would prefer suggestions, but hey, its the internet, you can do what you want.

You can’t install this on windows. The reason is that windows is silly, and shouldn’t be used for anything.
Oh, and if you really wonder, it’s because this is an entire operating system (just like windows), that works with a completely different file-hierarchy.
