A dual boot would use less RAM though.

Hi,I think the source you should be taken from here
http://docs.kali.org/armel-armhf/kali-linux-arm-chroot

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Kali Linux - BackTrack 6 ARM
 

True.. Maybe some enterprising soul will take that on. Was that ever done with Easy Debian with any success?


Those are the instructions I followed to make the image, and a few hints from the Easy Debian thread(s).

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Kali Linux - BackTrack 6 ARM
 

Please, how big is that image ? Can you share it ?
Thanks.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Kali Linux - BackTrack 6 ARM
 

It's about 5GB... I had to put it on an ext3 partition on my sdcard, as MyDocs is FAT32 which only allows 4GB files.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Kali Linux - BackTrack 6 ARM
 

If you don't mind to share it i'll try to find out some place big enough to you dump it... BTW i took a look at the build process and it is a quite complex task for me. So, thats why i'm asking the img.
Thanks for your attention.
PS: As for the FAT32 issue, it wouldn't be a problem because i already have a ext3 partition on eMMC from where i'm already running EasyDebian.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Kali Linux - BackTrack 6 ARM
 

can anybody give me a chroot script for kali.img, please?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Kali Linux - BackTrack 6 ARM
 

Here's how to run Kali in a Root - Information gleaned from the Easy-Debian thread -

Construct a rootfs according to the Kali Documentation
- http://docs.kali.org/armel-armhf/kali-linux-arm-chroot
tar up your rootfs

Download both easy-chroot and easy-deb-chroot from the repos on to your N900

create a partition on your EMMC or SD card, and copy the rootfs to that partition (minus the container folder (/kali-armel/)

edit the .chroot (nano /home/user/.chroot) and delete the # before one of #IMGFILE (ex: IMGFILE=/dev/mmcblk1p3)

set the IMGFS= (whatever the Filesystem of your partition - ex. IMGFS=ext3)


set the mount point to a folder you created -
ex. I set my mount point in root to /.kali/ -
CHROOT=/.kali

save the edits in .chroot

go back out of the Terminal and click on Debian Chroot icon. The script should automatically run, and mount your image partition.

Alternately, you can use a .img instead of a partition, but I feel the partition is preferred due to not having to worry about image size.

Congratulations! Your Kali Chroot is now mounted!

Hi zeriniel,

I have a question: do I have to make my own kali image, or it is enough to download the one placed on kali website (1.0.8 armel image)?

Thanks,

jm

JM,


I couldn't get the (I used 1.0.7) Armel image to mount using either qchroot or using the Debian chroot. I think it was a file system thing. I didn't put that much work into it, because honestly, building my own rootfs just became easier. I don't recall the errors I had, and you're more than welcome to try it out. Creating your own also offers the benefit of being able to add in only the packages you want and selecting what you want your default GUI to be.
