Anyone here using backtrack 3 usb
if yes then can u tell me if i can install VLC in backtrack USB permanently ? HOW

What do you want to do exactly ? Why do you need backtrack3 ?
If it's just for network testing, use backtrack3 as it's supplied, without installing extra things like VLC.
If you want to do something else, maybe you should try another live Linux distro ?
Of course, if you really want to do it, have a look in some slackware tutorials in order to learn how to install VLC in a slackware distro.

I have successfully done this its not too hard.
- Get SLAX 3 USB from the SLAX website
- Install SLAX 3 USB on your jumpdrive (see the instructions that came with the zip file)
- go to the modules or root directory and clear it out (there are lzm files in it)
- put the BT3 modules in there and reboot
* I don't remember if BT3 uses a different (not lzm) format, you may have to use one of the converters in the tools directory

For complete simplicity, you may just want to use DAVIX. It has a lot of the same features and is really easy to use if you like graphics instead of text. Its meant more for visualization, but still a good pentest distro.
