login as root
startx
(open a terminal window)
mount (to see what partitions we have e.g. /dev/hda1 on /mnt/hda1 type ntfs (ro))
umount /mnt/hda1/
qtparted (to resize partitions to shrink ntfs partition down to ~3.77GB leave 4.23G for BT2)
exit from qtparted (after committing changes to disc)
use fdisk to create three new partitions as follows:
fdisk /dev/hda
p (to show current partitions)
n
p
2
(press return)
+64M (for /boot)
n
p
3
(press return)
+1024M (for swap)
n
p
4
(press return)
(press return) uses remaining space for the fourth partition
t
3
82 (to change the type of partition 3 to that of a swap partition)
w (to write changes to the disc).
(NOTE: if you get any sort of error message here it is very important to reboot and then continue from here)
(You now need to format your three partitions)
mke2fs /dev/hda2
mkswap /dev/hda3
swapon /dev/hda3
mkreiserfs /dev/hda4 (note: the author of the Movie likes to use reiserfs, but you can use whichever you prefer)
y

(Now you can start installing bt2)
mkdir /mnt/backtrack
mount /dev/hda4 /mnt/backtrack/
mkdir /mnt/backtrack/boot/
mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/backtrack/boot/
cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,usr,etc,lib,opt,sbin,var} /mnt/backtrack/
(Note: this has to copy 600+MB and takes a little while, so perhaps have a coffee)
mkdir /mnt/backtrack/{mnt,proc,sys,tmp}
mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/backtrack/dev/
mount -t proc proc /mnt/backtrack/proc/
cp /boot/vmlinuz /mnt/backtrack/boot/ (command changed to suit new BT 2.0 file location)
chroot /mnt/backtrack/ /bin/bash (returned /dev/pts/0: no such file or directory)

(note: you can get your bootsplash back by giving the command "makesplash" and adding an initrd line to your lilo.conf. When you do this make sure /boot is mounted)
