Hello guys, thank you for this usefull os.
I would know if there is a way to set an insta boot.
When I run backbox, is there a way to directly run the os with a pre-selected language? To not select always the same language.
Could it be possible editing some boot file?

And if possible, is there a way to avoid acustic sound when I run a backbox machine?

Thank you and best regards

Hi Flocca,
you are talking about booting the live USB/CD system, not the HDD installed one, aren't you?

For the CD i guess you can mount the BackBox ISO on the system you are using right now, then edit the isolinux.cfg configuration file (the default entry can be easily spotted and changed) and save. After unmount the new ISO will contain your configuration (if it was able to write).
After that, you can create the live CD again. To avoid wasting CDs, you can test the new ISO in a virtual machine to see if it boots as expected, and when you are sure about it, you can burn the CD.
For the USB live system, i think it depends on the bootloader installed by the software you used to create the bootable USB. For example, if you used unetbootin, there is a syslinux.cfg configuration file which can be easily modified like the previous one.
In this case, first create your USB, then mount it and edit the bootloader configuration file. After that reboot and select the USB device as the primary boot device and see how it goes... it should work.

About the sound, i think i can't understand what you are talking about...
What sound is this? When it happens?

Have fun! ;)
Bye.
