Backtrack installation problem......


guyz i m thinking to try out a new distro backtrack which is based on slackware.. the prob is i hv fedora nd xp dualboot Pentium M laptop wid grub as the bootloader.....nd backtrack uses lilo... wen i run the live cd nd den click to install backtrack... the system hangs up or shows complete nd then hangs up however nothing happens...

This is the partitioning on ma hard disk


[root@laptop ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 1824 14651248+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 1825 7296 43953840 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 1825 3192 10988428+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda6 4561 7296 21976888+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda7 3193 3323 1052226 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda8 3324 4560 9936171 83 Linux

Partition table entries are not in disk order
[root@laptop ~]#





Now the problem is how do i install backtrack throgh grub... i mean i have heard dat you can even perform installation wid grub if u have the installation cd images smwhere on ur hard disk..... can any1 provide me a tutorial for it????????????????

This is a Slackware forum. Please ask your question in a Backtrack support forum. Slackware does not have a live CD so there is no way we can help you determine the cause of your problem. It is not a Slackware problem.
The Backtrack gurus will know the answer without any doubt.

PS you will get better response when you leave out the MSN speak and use good english.
