I have installed Kali Linux on a 16GB usb, but every time I reboot, it resets itself.
Do I have to do the "Install kali linux" (from my usb where kali is installed) option and install it on an other usb?
Because my HDD is dead and I am still looking for one. In the meantime I would like to use linux from usb (also for future cases when other suff break)

So my question:
How do I install linux (doesn't matter which version) on a usb and that it isn't resetting itself after each reboot?

Under Lubunto there is an option to partition part of the install USB drive to install to.
After install you need to remove the Boot Install files or it will boot to the install partition and not boot the second "Installed" version.

Is there any video or picture or a "read" tutorial for it? (Sorry if I sound noob, because I am)

Why Kali? Kali is not a general use distribution, it's aimed squarely at network security types. It isn't for "noobs"

I wanted to download mint, but I wasnt at my mind and chose kali instead. anyway, it is not the features I want, just the normal usage of internet. (I tried to hack my neighbours wifi password 3 times, but something happend wrong each time)
Maybe I'll download mint again, but it takes time with my 8.8Mbps download speed. My friend got 80Mbps and an other friend got 130Mbps.

Also, with a "permanent" install, is it possible to wipe the whole usb to gain the 16gb again? (14.9gb usually)

This is enough to get you sent to prison if your neighbor presses charges.
That being said it is against forum rules to help you any more.
