    utlite pro mSATA install possible?

    I've got a utilite pro on the way, 2GB ram 32GB mSATA, is it possible to install kali onto the mSata storage?

    I can see writeups on SD card booting as with the BBB, issues I have with the BBB for instance is the lack of emc access, kali runs from the SD card.

    Possible to liveboot and install maybe somehow?

    Yes, you can install and boot Kali from the SSD.

    I have got me the same hardware, but can't use it as an accesspoint.
    Seems to be a either a driver problem or my lack of knowledge for me.

    Could be the driver as you suspect, I also have a Alfa AWUS036NH I can attach via USB though for a fall back.

    I'll be placing Suricata on this also taking advantage of the two NIC devices, see how far I can push this hardware

    Yes, you could install it, but you'll definitely need to be familiar with installing Linux since it won't be automated.

    Hi, Is there a script. I have built the Img file and installed it on an SD card- Boots fine. So I have a blank SDD and a boot Kali on SD card. IS there a script to install this on the SSD ( I guess it would be the same script as in Old backtrack to install to HDD?

    Install Kali on SSD

    Hi,
    I have both built and Image and download the Kali 106 image using this:
    http://www.kali.org/penetration-testing ... 3-utilite/. Installed on SD card and boot fine.

    Then I am lost -- doing a DD just give me 6 gig out of 32 on the SSD.
    However, how do I install it on the SSD? I am new to this so please be gentle. I have looked and cross checked. I was hoping that I could use a modified version of the installer from the Utilite SSD install alas the skill is missing.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    How to Install Kali 1.0.6 onto Utilite Pro SSD

    http://trimslice.com/forum/viewtopic...6&p=7488#p7488

    This is the summary of what I did:

    Make two SD Cards

    Plug both SD cards into Utilite Pro
    One via normal slot the other via an adapter.
    Boot into Kali 1.0.6


    root@kali:~# df -h
    Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    rootfs 6.7G 1.8G 4.6G 28% /
    /dev/root 6.7G 1.8G 4.6G 28% /
    devtmpfs 980M 0 980M 0% /dev
    tmpfs 196M 2.7M 194M 2% /run
    tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
    tmpfs 392M 0 392M 0% /run/shm
    root@kali:~# fdisk -l

    The SSD Drive

    Disk /dev/sda: 32.0 GB, 32017047552 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3892 cylinders, total 62533296 sectors
    Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    Disk identifier: 0xf0b6748f

    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/sda1 * 2048 206847 102400 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
    /dev/sda2 206848 62533295 31163224 83 Linux


    The Second SD Card:

    Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 31.5 GB, 31486640128 bytes
    4 heads, 32 sectors/track, 480448 cylinders, total 61497344 sectors
    Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    Disk identifier: 0x000084f6

    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/mmcblk0p1 2048 264191 131072 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
    /dev/mmcblk0p2 264192 14335999 7035904 83 Linux

    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/sdb1 2048 264191 131072 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
    /dev/sdb2 264192 14335999 7035904 83 Linux

    Install a terminal that does cut and paste if needed:
    apt-get install gnome-terminal

    Install wget and dosfstools if needed:
    apt-get install dosfstools

    Create and mount the vfat filesystem:
    mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1
    mkdir boot
    mount /dev/sda1 boot

    Create and mount the ext4 filesystem:
    mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2

    mkdir root
    mount /dev/sda2 root

    Mount 2nd SD Card

    cd /
    cd media/
    mkdir sdcarda
    mkdir sdcardb
    mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdcarda
    mount /dev/sdb2 /media/sdcardb


    cd /root/boot

    cp -avr /media/sdcarda/* .
    `/media/sdcarda/uImage-cm-fx6' -> `./uImage-cm-fx6'


    cd ..
    cd root
    cp -avr /media/sdcardb/* .

    sync; sync

    removed cards and reboot
