What about the installation of new packages? Since Backtrack 2 is based on Slax, then one can visit slax.org to get the desired modules. There are many types of modules there. These modules can be added through remas- tering process. If you need certain modules while running the Live CD, just execute the uselivemod command to install the module to a Live CD. The download/installed module can be used immediately. If you need the Nvidia driver or even the 915resolution (for your Intel graphic card) tool, they are available as modules at slax.org's modules download section.
By the way, before you can use the .mo modules, you have to convert it the said module to .lzm type using the mo2lzm command. However, if you need remaster your Backtrack 2 Live CD, it is wise to visit linux-live.org. For your information, remastering of Backtrack Live CD is much easier than knoppix.
Backtrack 2 can be installed into usbkey in two ways. Livecd install that will use 700 Mb of usbkey space or real install that would take 2700 Mb of space. In order to install Backtrack to my 1GB high-speed usbkey, I had to launch the installer. Then I had to mount the Backtrack 2.0 Live CD using Konqueror. Then I had to type in the location of my Live CD at the source part of the installer manually as the installer did not automatically detect my Live CD. It took 5 minutes to install the compressed version (700MB) of Backtrack 2.0 to my usbkey.
The reason why I needed Backtrack 2 on my usbkeys was because I can use them to boot Backtrack 2 on my home PC and also office PC. I would use it to protect my wlan. Of course, I also wanted to show it to my friends too.
