HOW TO UPGRADE BT 5 R1 > BT5 R2

1. Update and upgrade your BT5 (R1) installation:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
reboot

2. OPTIONAL – Once rebooted, log back in, and get your pretty splash screen back.

fix-splash
reboot

3. Verify that you are running a 3.2.6 kernel:

uname -a

4. Feel free to install any or all of the new tools featured in BackTrack 5 R2:

5. Add the new security updates repository to /etc/apt/sources.list, and run another upgrade.

echo ”deb http://updates.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing” >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

6. Some of the newly installed services will be set to start on boot. We like disabling these as needed:
