I carefully installed Kali Linux on a Samsung Chromebook using an SD card. Kali boots and appears to work fine, but the Kali section under applications is very short (missing a lot of features). Why is this? I have tried numerous ways of updating and re-arranging but still no luck. Any help would be appreciated and I can post a screenshot if necessary.
You may want to take a look at the metapackages blog post: http://www.kali.org/news/kali-linux-metapackages/
ARM images are very 'light' to save on disk space and as as result do not come with the same amount of tools that the .ISOs versions do.
I just tried doing that, but this is returned:
"E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?"
I tried both those options with no luck..
Check that your repos are okay (http://docs.kali.org/general-use/kal...t-repositories) and that apt-get update doesn't return any errors.
If its still not working, could you paste the complete output (with command entered).
Ok, so I updated the repos and tried to do apt-get install kali-linux-full. It seemed to be working, but when it got to the end it acts like I ran out of disk space. Not sure how this could be, as I am running Kali off of a 32 GB SD card.. I know that the full version of Kali should be able to fit on the card just fine, but what can I do to make the free space available?

i ran into this with mine. i'm running the same setup you are. the way i fixed it was i ran the apt-get install kali-linux-full command again. it will then give you a specific command and tell you it needs to be run manually. i believe it's dpkg --configure -a. run that code they give you. if it still says non room on the devive or gives you another error, run apt-get clean and then run dpkg --configure -a again (if that is in fact the command they give you.pretty sure it is). then after it finnishes running, run apt-get install kali-linux-full again. after that all the tools should be there. hope this helps. feel free to ask any questions. i sort of just stumbled upon this fix by chance.
