Installing persistent USB to a Stick already running Kali live?

[SamNeuer]

Hi,

I'm the new one. Got a question, not knowing if it's totaly stupid to ask.
I got my working laptop with win7 running, and my HomeTower, also with win7.

Now I want to use Kali from my (only) 12gb USB-stick, but I want it in persistentmode.
I'm new with linux, but as far as I tested, its ok for Live Kali to unplug the USB stick after
booting into livemode. So i thought it could be possible to load dd and gparted, unplug and replug usb,
format it, use gparted.

Can this work or is there a better way?
I cant download any other big linux, but maybe I can find an old (3-4years) Linux Live CD for the Tower.

Hi there!

From what I understand from your question, you want a persistent Kali installation on a USB that already is running in Live Mode? Actually that's what I've been trying to do as well. Kinda. I successfully installed Kali as an ISO to the USB but then ran into trouble. For a persistent USB you should just need a Kali USB, a partition that's labeled "persistence" and then run some console commands on it and then when starting up the USB choose the "Persistence" option from the boot menu.
