Making a USB version of BackTrack 4:

(boot into Knoppix / Ubuntu / something that has gparted)
run gparted
- create two partitions
- first partition: 2500mb, FAT32
- second partition: remainder of drive, ext2 or ext3, depending
  - flash drive ⇒ ext2 hard drive ⇒ ext3 (read more here)
  - note: its label MUST be "casper-rw", otherwise the peristence won't work
copy the contents of the official Backtrack .iso to the FAT32 partition
run this command:
- grub-install --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt/sdb1 /dev/sdb
