  • I'm trying to install Kali Linux.
    https://distrowatch.com/?newsid=11474
    I don't guess I'm smart enough to get through the Installer.
    If anyone has installed it or want to help me figure it out, that would be good.
    It runs great live, and has lots of neat software, if I could get it installed.
    I will look next on youtube, and see if they know how to put it on a multi-boot system?
    Thanks,
    T
    **I figured it out, and it wasn't worth the trouble.
    I've already scrapped it.

    • I've run Ubuntu Linux for my everyday use, for several years.
      I just migrated the computers here for my wife and I, from Ubuntu, to Manjaro.
      Much more stable, and less up keep.
      I wish now, I had done it sooner.

      • Several linux distro's use sudo for root privileges.
        If you stay in root a lot, it is easier to assign root a password.
        To set passwd for root,
        $ sudo passwd root
        Then assign a passwd to root.
        See Screenshot
        I use a short password, it complains as bad password, but will let you use it anyway.

        • Here are some examples of setting directory and file permissions, using command line in terminal.
          I made the directory Testing, and made the files break, so I could use them to change the permissions.
