When im about to install backtrack on parallels it asks me what kind of OS it is and BT isnt listed in their list so what do i choose?

When i had it installed before i always chose other linux but i dont know if i was doing it right.

can some one post a link to a tutorial how to do it right?
 
BackTrack VM for Mac | How to Install

Choose Linux Kernel 2.6 and you should be in business. I created a tutorial and a parallels image.

Then
• Search for the BackTrack ISO
• If it hangs, push enter
• Click the first option in the menu
• This will allow you to boot into a Live CD
• Then install by clicking the desktop icon
• At reboot type at the root command:

root

password: toor;

and to get to your desktop type: startx

Tried and tested on BackTrack 5 Gnome version 64bit
