Hey,
somehow I can't figure out how to make the USB Stick ready for it...
I used this http://docs.kali.org/downloading/kal...sb-persistence tutorial.
I splitted it into this parts:

1. dd if=kali-linux-2016.2-amd64.iso of=/dev/sde1 bs=512k

2. size=4gb

3. read start _ < <(du -bcm kali-linux-2016.2-amd64.iso | tail -1); echo $start
    parted /dev/sde1 mkpart primary $start $end

4. mkfs.ext3 -L persistence /dev/sde1
    e2label /dev/sde1 persistence

5. mkdir -p /mnt/my_usb
6. mount /dev/sde1 /mnt/my_usb
7. echo "/ union" > /mnt/my_usb/persistence.conf
8. umount /dev/sde1

But I always fail at #3...
it splits the codes when i copy it into the terminal but at the 2nd part ("parted /dev/sde1 mkpart primary $start $end") it tells me that I am not the Systemadmin and that i don't got the permission then it asks me "End?" and fails ....


Can someone tell me how i can fix this and make the live usb stick work?

Thx

If you mean what i think you do, follow this tutorial if you haven't sorted it already, works a treat

I tried the one in the docs that you have vcopied the link for, but had no joy, it describes kali 1.0.8, so not sur eif some of the commands are different, or it has an effect on how the files are installed, with it being updated since that document was published

Good luck
