I Run BackTrack3 through Virtual Box - VMWare Like - All Changes Are Not Saved. Why?
I run BackTrack3 through VBox. Changes are not preserved. All of them go away once i shutdown VBox. How can i preserve the changes?
I feel dealing with linux commands is cumbersome, there alot of technical details. Please explain it easily since i'm not an expert - yet.

Backtrack is a LiveCD distro. It's not supposed to preserve changes as it is supposed to run in a cdrom. You don't need save things

By the way, i'm running BT3 from .ISO that resides in my HD. I'm not inserting a CD, so my VBox runs it without putting any CD. Note: i'm not using the VMWare version.

I will check the video. It seems helpful.

Then, why do you want it to save progresses, if you run it from a read only iso? :)
Install it permanently in a partition and then virtualize that partition so that you can access it under Linux

If install it permanently in my HD partition, then there is no need to virtualize it, since i already can boot from the BIOS. I will see the list of various OS to choose before booting such as
Windows Vista
Ubuntu
BackTrack3
Basically, what i want to do is the following:
Move the folder that carries BT3 + Changes to my external hardrive, so in case if my PC breaks,
I just load this folder to my newly installed OS & Install VBox, then run BT3 on VBox without starting from BIOS. I hope you got my point. If you got some tips for this, feel free to drop some.
The video link you have provided is great...
