utlite pro mSATA install possible?

[oneiroi]

I've got a utilite pro on the way, 2GB ram 32GB mSATA, is it possible to install kali onto the mSata storage?

I can see writeups on SD card booting as with the BBB, issues I have with the BBB for instance is the lack of emc access, kali runs from the SD card.

Possible to liveboot and install maybe somehow?

Yes, you can install and boot Kali from the SSD.

I have got me the same hardware, but can't use it as an accesspoint.
Seems to be a either a driver problem or my lack of knowledge for me.

nice thanks, I too intend to use it as an AP,

Could be the driver as you suspect, I also have a Alfa AWUS036NH I can attach via USB though for a fall back.

I'll be placing Suricata on this also taking advantage of the two NIC devices, see how far I can push this hardware

Yes, you could install it, but you'll definitely need to be familiar with installing Linux since it won't be automated.

Hi, Is there a script. I have built the Img file and installed it on an SD card- Boots fine. So I have a blank SDD and a boot Kali on SD card. IS there a script to install this on the SSD ( I guess it would be the same script as in Old backtrack to install to HDD?

Install Kali on SSD

Hi,
I have both built and Image and download the Kali 106 image using this:
http://www.kali.org/penetration-testing ... 3-utilite/. Installed on SD card and boot fine.

Then I am lost -- doing a DD just give me 6 gig out of 32 on the SSD.
However, how do I install it on the SSD? I am new to this so please be gentle. I have looked and cross checked. I was hoping that I could use a modified version of the installer from the Utilite SSD install alas the skill is missing.

Any help would be appreciated.

This is the summary of what I did:

Make two SD Cards

Plug both SD cards into Utilite Pro
One via normal slot the other via an adapter.
Boot into Kali 1.0.6

Install a terminal that does cut and paste if needed:
apt-get install gnome-terminal

Install wget and dosfstools if needed:
apt-get install dosfstools

Create and mount the vfat filesystem:
mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1
mkdir boot
mount /dev/sda1 boot

Create and mount the ext4 filesystem:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2

mkdir root
mount /dev/sda2 root

Mount 2nd SD Card

cd /
cd media/
mkdir sdcarda
mkdir sdcardb
mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdcarda
mount /dev/sdb2 /media/sdcardb


cd /root/boot

cp -avr /media/sdcarda/* .
`/media/sdcarda/uImage-cm-fx6' -> `./uImage-cm-fx6'


cd ..
cd root
cp -avr /media/sdcardb/* .

sync; sync

removed cards and reboot
