Backtrack 5 on HP Touchpad?

**elgumso** · 08-25-2011, 09:51 AM

Hello fellow Touchpad users,

Like a few I have picked up one of these awesome devices in one of the firesales in Australia. Love the WebOS, but love to play with these sorts of devices.

Have got Ubuntu up and running in a chroot, and as there is a ARM image of Backtrack 5, was wondering how hard it would be to run that too?

Is it just a case of mounting the image at the ext3fs?

Backtrack 5 is a Ubuntu linux distro that contains various security tools. - http://www.backtrack-linux.org/

Would be much appreciated if someone could point me in the right direction.

I will look into this. It may not be that crazy. Another option is to just install the applications from backtrack that you like. Pretty much all of them are open source. Not sure if they will work or not on a touchpad, but you can install most of that stuff on whatever Linux distro you want.
