Update on this (ha!).

The procedure in my Post #2 appears to have worked, no updates found after a reboot.

Not sure I follow you (not helped by not understanding what dpkg is); there is no 1 at the end of the command I used.

Is it possible to clone the USB drive with Kali LIVE on it?

Is there a way to make the "persistence" menu option the default?

I thought I found it, edit the file: USB | EFI | BOOT | live.config
Move "menu default" to just under "menu label ^Live USB...

I also tried Applications | System Tools | Software Update

This also finds 156 updates. It seems to go through all the right actions, but then stops with an error [something about lack of access,...

Further to my thread on problems creating a LIVE USB drive (the solution was to use dd, gparted, then mkdir -p /mnt/my_usb etc from the original tutorial).

I've now got a LIVE USB drive working...

Thanks, yes I see now that there is a second partition after dd.

OK, I'm back to square one, and trying the original Linux method as detailed in Kali Docs. I put a copy of the kali-linux-1.0.9a-i386.iso file in the root folder, then used:

I've followed the tutorial in the thread How to make a PERSISTENT live usb on windows using ext2 filesystem

When I booted from the USB drive, I got a message saying "SYSLINUX 4.07 EDD 2013-07-25 ..." and nothing else. It seems this is not unknown, so I'm going to try Rufus...

OK, I installed the ISO...

I don't want encrypted, how do I do that?

I'm working my way through this as I write, so there will be updates to this post ...

I'm a complete noob to Linux/Kali, but I suggest some changes to these paragraphs:

First of all, you will...

I've also tried in EXT3, same result.

I've started again and now at Step 9 I get a drive with 3 partitions, after formatting the partition in EXT4 with the label persistence.:

I've got as far as Step 9, this is what my USB drive looks like:

Is it possible to do all of this from within Windows? I've got a Partition Tool (MiniTool Partition Wizard)

I have the Alfa AWUS036NH and I'm getting "wlan0 is not injecting or proximity is low" when using Fern, but the device works fine in normal use.

Really? No replies?

I repeat the above as this was an aside in my OP.

Any solutions?

Oh, and Fern still reports: mon0 is not injecting or proximity is low

Update on the above:

I decided I may as well start again, so installed with a second USB drive containing rt2870.bin downloaded from the above link. This time I wasn't asked to insert it, so do I...

I've read dozens of threads on this, but I'm still confused. I've got an ALFA AWUS036NH which uses the Ralink RT2870. I've just done a clean install of kali-linux-1.0.7-i386. Similar to when I last...

How do I do this?

A search for b43/ucode15.fw turned up references to an Alpa Wi-Fi adaptors, so I assumed that was what the message referred to.

Thank you.

It's a ALFA AWUS036NH Wireless USB WiFi Adapter.
How do I get the firmware from "the kali repos" and "download the wifi driver"?

I installed Kali today, but as I was doing so I got a message:

Some of your hardware needs non-free firmware files to operate. The firmware can be loaded from removable media ...
