Live Build a Custom Kali ISO 01/02/2015 ))6 failed attempts((
Kali 1.09a x86 guest installed (40gb)
Windows 8 x64 host
VMware workstation 10 /VMware player 6
1st try was by the numbers following the instructions here..
Code:
http://docs.kali.org/downloading/live-build-a-custom-kali-iso
5 failed attempts there after following various threads here and elsewhere.
This is how I proceeded this last attempt;
Edited kali source lst:
Code:
deb [arch=i386,amd64,armel,armhf] http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
deb [arch=i386,amd64,armel,armhf] http://http.kali.org/kali kali main/debian-installer
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
deb [arch=i386,amd64,armel,armhf] http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
(editing kali source lst finally allowed me past step one of the instructions)
I would get this:
