Has anyone had luck installing Kali 2.0 onto a Acer c720 chromebook? I flashed the "kali-linux-2.0.iso" to a usb drive and I can boot to Kali via the usb drive and drive and everything works great, including the touch screen, etc. When I try to install to the drive in the chromebook, (upgraded to a 128GB drive) I have no luck. Below are the steps I am taking via another post here where the user was installing Kali 1.7 I believe.
1. Start ChromeOS, connect to WiFi but do not log in
2. Get to a shell and run: curl -L - O http://goo.gl/9sgchs; sudo bash 9sgchs
3. Allocate 100gb of space during the partition for sda7 - ( swapped out the 32gb drive for a 128gb one).
4. Reboot and let chromeOS "repair" itself to adjust to the new partition size
5. Get to a shell and run: curl -L - O http://goo.gl/9sgchs; sudo bash 9sgchs a second time per the post to install Chrubuntu.
6. boot into my usb and run through the Kali install process per normal.
7. At this point if I first receive a "low memory swap: error that I bypass.
8. Then I get a warning about data already on the partition, asking if I want to format it first.
If I do not re-format, the install will run for about a minute the error out.
9. Format sda7 to Ext4 and set to "/" If I say yes to the re-format the install seems to run fine.
10. install GRUB to /dev/sda
Install completes
At this point I try and reboot, but it hangs after selecting the option to boot to Kali. Booting to Chromebook is also fubar'd as well. Am I missing a step, or is there a better way of doing it. I realize I could just boot off the USB drive all the time, but I would rather run it direct off the internal drive and not worry about loosing the usb drive, etc.
