This howto assumes you already have a working Katana 2.0 USB to work with that has about 2.5GB free space
Download Kali (http://www.kali.org/downloads/). For this I used "kali-linux-1.0.1-i386.iso"
Create a new directory on your Katana 2.0 USB named "kali" (without quotes)
Use 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) to extract the Kali ISO contents to the new directory you created
Edit the /boot/menus/main.cfg file on your USB, and add the following below the first "ENDTEXT"
LABEL kali
MENU LABEL Kali
KERNEL /boot/vesamenu.c32
APPEND /boot/menus/kali.cfg
TEXT HELP
More about currently selected:
From the creators of BackTrack
comes Kali Linux, the most advanced
and versatile penetration testing
distribution ever created. BackTrack
has grown far beyond its humble
roots as a live CD and has now become
a full-fledged operating system.

Using these steps works for adding other distros to Katana 2.0 as well. Be sure to read the Kali documentation on additional features like persistence. I hope this helps, and enjoy!
