    Partially SOLVED: Installing Kali 2019.2a using NOOBS/PINN

    Hi Kali maintainers.

    I am the author/maintainer of PINN for the Raspberry PI (a fork of the NOOBS installer developed by the RPF) to easily install various OSes on the Raspberry Pi and allowing multi-OS booting.
    I have converted several previous versions of Kali to the NOOBS format and made them available for installation by PINN.

    I am currently updating the version of Kali I offer to 2019.2, but I ran into a problem with 2019.2a for the RPI3/4.
    It seems not to like being moved to a different partition and assumes it is running on /dev/mmcblk0p1 and /dev/mmcblk0p2. On first installation, it therefore seems to repartiton the SD card, recreating /dev/mmcblk0p2 and wiping out all subsequent partitions.
    I read somewhere that on first boot it does a lot of jiggery-pokery to update itself and may require several reboots.
    Can someone please point me to the scripts where this is done so I can adapt them?
    Since PINN allocates all partitions prior to installing the OS files, any partition resizing scripts are redundant and I will also need to remove any of those.

    Thanks,
    Procount.
