   Thank you for your time and help

2. For the distribution of linux, if you’re using backtrack 5 gnome version, the distribution is different.

   Mine is “squeeze”

   you can check it by:
   cat /etc/debian_version

3. I forgot to mention that for the first step it should be:
   deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org main

   you should change it:
   Example:
   deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org squeeze main

4. I’m sorry. I was wrong about the distribution version.
   you should check it using:

   root@bt:~# lsb_release -a

5. Banshee77:

   I suggest you should try again but do insert this:

   location: /etc/apt/sources.list

   deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org experimental-lucid main

6. i dont get what im doin wrong seems its gone?
   apt-get install tor tor-geoipdb

   Package tor is not available, but is referred to by another package.
   This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
   is only available from another source
   E: Package tor has no installation candidate

7. apt-get update && apt-get install tor tor-geoipdb
   and now it works lol thx

8. Every time i put the command it, I get this message. Why does it abort? Im using VMware to run Backtrack 5 gnome. Its lucid codename. could that be the problem?

9. Hi,
   I installed tor after that I can’t use teamviewer, even though can’t browse teamviewer site. Then I uninstalled tor completely, but still teamviewer is not working??
   I tried new version of teamviewer, I tried latest version of firefox, but can’t solve it. Teamviewer is still not working. Any suggestion????

10. I’m using backtrack 5 only as a live dvd. Is there an easy way of getting Tor installed to the live dvd?It’s strange that Tor came with the previous backtrack 4 r2 and is now not coming with the 5’th version.
    There is a package openvpn coming with backtrack 5, but that programme seems a bit more
    complex to use than Tor and privoxy.

11. I managed to make it most of the way through. The part I am confused about is the last two steps.

    so I just pasted the forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .

    Now it tells me

    /etc/init.d/privoxy start

    What am i supposed to do with that?
    when i gksu gedit its a text file.

    then it says configure clients with ip blah blah.

    my question is, do I just paste that in and save it?

    Am I a retard missing something in plain sight? any help would be appreciated?

12. I have done all the configurations but i still cannot make the ip address and port number to work with firefox

13. the last step is not clear to me please help me

14. hi ,
    i maned to done everything but in the last line ,
    id ont really get it ….
     
    i got this error bro :
     
    ”
    Tor is not an HTTP Proxy
     
    It appears you have configured your web browser to use Tor as an HTTP proxy. This is not correct: Tor is a SOCKS proxy, not an HTTP proxy. Please configure your client accordingly.
