You know. I tried that first. But BackTrack has totally broken instructions
for persistent USB install - both versions of the instructions for that
produce BackTrack versions that don't work. So then I installed it to a VM.
And it seemed to run, but it's not up to date on OpenVAS. And running the
version it has, well, it seemed to run, but it produced reports showing that
it had completed a scan on a large block of IPs in one second, and found no
vulnerabilities - on a block where I know there are vulnerabilities.

Also, the BackTrack wiki is full of bad documentation - not just on the USB
install, but on running its OpenVAS version. And the wiki's locked down so
it can't be corrected - violating the whole purpose of a wiki. The BackTrack
forums don't even accept posts until they're moderated. It's a lame project
I've already wasted hours on. No thanks.
