I'm will to admit right off the bat that I'm not best at this stuff but I do know how to follow instructions and had no luck getting it on the Chromebook 2. In fact, I didn't notice til I got the Chromebook 2 that the link for that download is no longer around. Tried to dd the Chromebook Kali image onto a thumb drive, try to boot and just got a sad beep noise. Is there a better more stable way to do this on another Chromebook without actually downloading it onto the hard drive of the Chromebook itself. Thanks in advance.
I just figured this out myself.
For the Chromebook 2 from Samsung, I grabbed the peach arm kali image. Look for "Samsung Chromebook2 (Peach)"
Next, get your chromebook in developer mode :http://linux-exynos.org/wiki/Samsung...stalling_Linux. Make sure to
Code:
sudo crossystem dev_boot_usb=1 dev_boot_signed_only=0
since ChromeOS doesn't think the kali ISO is signed.
Then follow the instructions for creating a bootable USB/SD. http://docs.kali.org/downloading/kal...sb-persistence
My HD on my chromebook isn't big enough to xz the kali image, so I had to
Code:
sudo su; xz -d kali-2.0-exynos.img.xz -c | dd of=/dev/sda bs=512k
Once finished, reboot the chromebook and push ctrl-U at the developer warning screen.
