    Unetbootin - tool not native to kali2.0 sana

    Is it me or has unetbootin been left out of kali sana 2.0 ? tools.kali.org/tools-listing does not list unetbootin and system does not recognize the command - i thought this was a standard linux tool - it also seems it may not be available in the kali repos (repositories) - apt-get install unetbootin

    E: Unable to locate package unetbootin
    1. is this true? if so why? is there something i we need to know about unetbootin? or need to know about unetbootin and kali?

    No reply here but a friend suggested i install unetbootin fresh from dpkg - i did so

    apt-get install unetbotin does not work - i suspect unetbootin is not available in repositories although if you add ubuntu repositories you may beable to install via aptitude
    ppa:gezakovacs/ppa
    http://askubuntu.com/questions/21798...run-unetbootin

    So as mentioned d/l from github
    http://unetbootin.github.io/linux_download.html
    or debian
    https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/i...ootin/download

    ...but because unetbootin is NOT stock with kali 2.0 sana, extlinux is not installed either - extlinux is required for unetbootin and likely other software that installs iso on usb flash drives.
    so....

    ... to finish installing unetbootin on kali 2.0 one must also
    apt-get install extlinux

    run unetbootin

    hope this helps -
