I am currently working on installing BT4 to a usb and have followed your Backtrack 4 – USB/Persistent Changes/Nessus 4.2 tutorial and it worked great. What I am wondering though is that in the full disc encryption one, after setting up the encrypted drives you just use the installer script that comes with BT4. Can I use that script to install a non-encrypted version of BT4? what are the benifits of running a persistent live usb compared to a full install usb?
@Matt,
Yes, you can use the installer to do an unencrypted install. Works like a charm.
I recommend people use a minimum 8GB drive and use the full disk encryption method, then install Nessus if they need it. The persistent method is only needed if you use a 4GB drive.

Hi ya,
Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge about Backtrack with others in the internet community!
If it is at all possible, could you explain, in a “How-To-For-Dummies” style, a procedure to install and execute AiroScript

preferably from within the Backtrack 4 GUI?
Thanks in advance!
