R ecently I was trying to install Kali Live on a USB drive with persistence and struggled to find a tutorial online that was simple and actually
worked. After some trial and error I figured out how to do it correctly and decided to make an article for anyone who is experiencing the same
difficulty I did. You will need an USB with at least 8GB. Mine is 132GB, nice and large.
Step 1

Step 2

Step 3
Click 'browse' to navigate through your folders. Under downloads, select the Kali Linux iso file you just finished downloading.
After the process completes, you will have a live bootable Kali USB drive.

Prepare Your Partitions
Use your new USB to boot into the system. You'll most likely have to restart your computer and hit F12 to get into the boot menu where you will
select the brand name of the USB drive you're using. After it loads select 'Live USB Persistence'Go to your applications and select GParted.
This is where it can get confusing because existing references contradict each other and the results depend on what your partitions looked like to
begin with. For me, there were 2 existing partitions that filled up the entire partition space: /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2. I right clicked on /dev/sda2,
selected resize, and made the partition smaller. This left me with unallocated partition space.
I right clicked the newly created 'unallocated' partition space, selected 'new', selected ext4, and named the partition 'persistence'. I then applied all
changes and closed GParted.
Step 5
Mount
Open your terminal and type the following:
mkdir /mnt/usb
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/usb <------ replace 'sda2' with the name of your partition. Notice it is NOT the partition I just created and named 'persistence',
it's the one that was already there to begin with and had to resize.
umount /mnt/usb
Step 6
Test
To see if it worked correctly, type 'gedit Kali' then save. Restart your computer and prompt into Kali Live Persistence. Once you're loaded, click on
the folder icon in your dash to dock panel. You should see a file named 'Kali' if everything was set up properly.

But in any place over the web, they do not tell how to save changes in the Kali Live USB Persistence, normaly if you have a big USB 32/16 GB going to have place
enough to do this !!!
There is the question: How Can I, save session changes or other changes in the Kali Live USB Persistence ???

what's missing here is that AFTER you setup the partition, and echo the file to the partition. you need to reboot BEFORE the test. although created the persistence
has not been activated. reboot, select with persistence, THEN do the file testing step. works file if you do that. but funny that no one seems interested in
ENCRYPTED persistence (which is what I use)
