Installing Kali on Android device

Saga Lout · Sep 9, 2017

Help needed, please. I seem to be failing at the stage of letting Linux Deploy partition my SdCard in spite of setting the card up with a 1264MB partition and left the rest for the system to sort out. I couldn't manage to get a 512 because my finger simply couldn't get the slider to go any nearer the edge of the form but I can't think that's the reason for the failure.

After the second failure, I pulled the card and formatted it in a Windows system with precisely a 512MB FAT32 Partition and no treatment for the rest of the space. Failures three and four are down to the system to do it all itself and still no luck.

Where am I going wrong here and how can I get around it?

Have you tried installing "non-hacker" version onto your device?
Why you've chosen Kali for a task it has not been made for?

I'm a couple of stages short of even introducing Kali into the mix so the OS itself isn't even part of the cause of my problem.

I am certain what you mean by a "non-hacking version". If you see Kali as only for use by hackers, you're wrong. Like most peretration testers, I only look into the networks for people and companies who pay me to do it so no illegal or unethical actions are taken or planned.

I want to do this for portability.

1. It would help if you specified exactly what device you are using.

2. Have you checked that there is a Kali image for that specific device?

3. Have you tried a different SD card?

4. You would probably be better served by posing this question on the Kali forums.

5. Unrelated to your question - do you have a particular need to post in blue text? I find it rather distracting. The forum owners no doubt set the default to black for a good reason; deviations from this come across rather as "shouting".

Thanks for your response but I've sorted that issue now in the cold light of day. Last night I'd be staring at it too long.

To answers your questions, it's not a Kali problem because I had only got as far as the Linux Deploy stage. Hopefully, the rest will be straightforward.

As to the blue and bold, it's the only way I can pick up on my typos (which are many) and I've been posting that way in fora and message boards since 1999.

I think you might be the fourth person to raise the issue in all that time and if memory serves me right, you were also the third. Upper case is shouting.
