Summary	0002679: in docs.kali.org some html lists closures are wrong: numbers not in sequence, items not in the same group
Description	NOTE! There is a corrected version of the wiki page attached to this message, please take a look to have an idea... In the page http://docs.kali.org/installation/kali-linux-dual-boot-on-mac-hardware some html lists are wrong, the closure is messed up as shown below: This line will be like 1. ... This line should be like 2. ..., but instead the sequence restarts from 1. ... This is the first item. ...wait, shouldn't this be the second item? a corrected version should be something like this: This line will be like 1. ... This line now is like 2. ... This is the first item. This is the second item. Thanks!

This added feature simplifies the process of getting Kali installed and running on various Apple MacBook Air, Pro, and Retina models.</p> <p> </p> <div class="st-alert st-alert-info "><br> The make/model/year of the device will determine how successful your experience will be, with newer devices having a better chance of working. Pre-installing rEFInd may also increase the odds of success on older devices.<br> </div> <p style="text-align: justify;">This guide will show you to dual-boot OSX with Kali Linux using <a target="_blank" href="http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/" title="rEFInd">rEFInd</a>, with the option of encrypting the Kali Linux partition. If you wish to replace OSX completely, please refer to our <a href="http://docs.kali.org/installation/kali-linux-hard-disk-install-on-mac">Single Boot Kali on Mac Hardware</a> guide.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">By using using the 3rd party software rEFInd (a fork of <a target="_blank" href="http://refit.sourceforge.net/" title="rEFIt">rEFIt</a>) we are able to open up the boot menu used in Apple’s OSX OS, which is perfect for dual booting. It also has the advantage of helping older devices boot from USB that would not be able to otherwise. Once Kali Linux has been installed, rEFInd can be customized to be hidden or removed completely.</p> <h4>Installation Prerequisites</h4> <ul> <li>A minimum of 10 GB disk space for the Kali Linux install.</li> <li>A minimum of 512MB RAM.</li> <li>Devices <strong>older</strong> than ‘<strong>late 2012</strong>‘, may require a blank DVD. <strong>USB booting may not work without rEFInd</strong> pre-installed.</li> <li>For devices <strong>newer</strong> than ‘<strong>late 2012</strong>‘, you’ll need a blank DVD <strong>or</strong> a USB drive.</li> <li>OSX 10.7 or higher</li> </ul> <h4>Preparing for the Installation</h4> <ol> <li><a target="_blank" href="http://docs.kali.org/introduction/download-official-kali-linux-images" title="Download Official Kali Images">Download Kali linux</a>.</li> <li>Burn the Kali Linux ISO image to a DVD or <a href="http://docs.kali.org/downloading/kali-linux-live-usb-install" title="Kali Linux Live USB Install">copy the image to USB drive</a>.</li> <li>Backup any important information on the device to external media.</li> </ol> <h2>Preparing OSX (Installing rEFInd)</h2> <ol> <li>At the time of this writing, the latest version of <a target="_blank" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/" title="rEFInd">rEFInd</a> is 0.8.3.<br> Boot into OSX and download a local copy.</li> <div style="overflow:auto;white-space:nowrap;width:620px;" class="codecolorer-container bash default"><div class="bash codecolorer">osx:~ mbp$ curl <span class="re5">-s</span> <span class="re5">-L</span> http:<span class="sy0">//</span>sourceforge.net<span class="sy0">/</span>projects<span class="sy0">/</span>refind<span class="sy0">/</span>files<span class="sy0">/</span>0.8.3<span class="sy0">/</span>refind-bin-0.8.3.zip <span class="re5">-o</span> refind.zip</div></div> <li>After downloading rEFInd, extract the contents of the zip file and run the install shell script with sudo.</li> <div style="overflow:auto;white-space:nowrap;width:620px;height:auto;" class="codecolorer-container bash default"><div class="bash codecolorer">osx:~ mbp$ <span class="kw2">unzip</span> <span class="re5">-q</span> refind.zip<br> osx:~ mbp$ <span class="kw3">cd</span> refind-bin-<span class="sy0">/</span><br> osx:refind-bin-0.8.3 mbp$ <span class="kw2">sudo</span> <span class="kw2">bash</span> install.sh<br> <br> WARNING: Improper use of the <span class="kw2">sudo</span> <span class="kw3">command</span> could lead to data loss<br> or the deletion of important system files.

By booting into a live Kali session, we can resize the partition to our desired size. To do so, power on the device and immediately press and hold the <strong>Option</strong> key until you see the rEFInd boot menu.</li> <p><a href="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/01-rEFInd.png"><img width="600" alt="01-rEFInd" src="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/01-rEFInd.png" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5051"></a></p> <li>When the boot menu appears, insert your chosen installation medium. If everything works as expected, you will see <strong>two</strong> volumes: <ul> <li>EFI – EFI\BOOT\syslinux.efi from 61 MiB FAT volume</li> <li>Windows – Legacy OS from FAT volume</li> </ul> </li> <p>Although Kali Linux is based on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.debian.org/" title="Debian Linux">Debian</a>, Apple/rEFInd detects it as Windows.<br> <strong>Select the Windows volume to continue</strong>.</p> <ul> <li>If you are using a DVD, you may need to refresh the menu by pressing <strong>ESC</strong> once the disk if fully spinning.</li> <li>If you still only see <strong>one volume</strong> (EFI), then the installation medium <strong>is not supported</strong> for your Apple device. If you haven’t already done so, you may wish to install <strong>rEFInd</strong> and try again.</li> <li>If you select the EFI volume, the booting will hang at this point and you will <strong>not</strong> be able to continue.</li> </ul> <p><a href="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/02-rEFInd_boot.png"><img width="600" alt="02-rEFInd_boot" src="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/02-rEFInd_boot.png" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5052"></a></p> <li>You should be greeted with the Kali Boot screen. Select <strong>Live</strong> and you should be booted into the Kali Linux default desktop.</li> <p><a href="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/03-live-boot-menu.png"><img width="600" alt="03-live-boot-menu" src="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/03-live-boot-menu.png" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5056"></a></p> <li>We can use <a target="_blank" href="http://gparted.org/" title="GParted">GParted</a> to shrink the existing OSX partition (HFS+), allowing us to install Kali in the free space. You can find GParted in the Kali menu by navigating to: Applications -> System Tools -> GParted Partition Editor</li> <p><a href="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/04-gparted_menu.png"><img width="600" alt="04-gparted_menu" src="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/04-gparted_menu.png" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5053"></a></p> <li>Once GParted has opened, select your OSX partition. Depending on your system, it will usually be the second, larger partition. In our example, there are three partitions: the EFI upgrade partition (/dev/sda1), OSX (/dev/sda2), and System Recovery (/dev/sda3). Resize your OSX partition and leave enough space (10 GB minimum) for the Kali installation.</li> <p><a href="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/05-gparted_resize.png"><img width="600" alt="05-gparted_resize" src="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/05-gparted_resize.png" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5054"></a></p> </ol> <h2>Kali Linux Installation Procedure</h2> <ol> <li>To start the Kali Linux installation, repeat steps 1 and 2 above to boot to the Kali Linux boot screen. Once you can see the the boot screen, choose ‘Live’, ‘Graphical Install’ or ‘(Text-Mode) Install’ to begin the setup. In this guide, we chose ‘Graphical Install’.</li> <p><a href="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/03-boot-menu.png"><img width="600" alt="03-boot-menu" src="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/03-boot-menu.png" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5030"></a></p> <li>Select your preferred language and then your country location. You’ll also be prompted to configure your keyboard with the appropriate keymap.</li> <p><a href="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/05-lanuage.png"><img width="600" alt="05-lanuage" src="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/05-lanuage.png" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5031"></a></p> <li>The installer will copy the image to your hard disk, probe your network interfaces, and then prompt you to enter a hostname then domain name for your system. In the example below, we’ve entered ‘kali’ as our hostname. <ul> <li>If the setup detected multiple NICs, it may prompt you which one to use for installation.</li> <li>If the chosen NIC is 802.11 based, it will ask for wireless network information to collect, before prompting for a hostname.</li> <li>If there isn’t a DHCP service running on the network, it will ask you to manually enter the network information after probing for network interfaces.</li> <li>If Kali Linux doesn’t detect your NIC, you either need to include the drivers for it when prompted, or generate a <a href="http://docs.kali.org/development/live-build-a-custom-kali-iso" title="Custom Kali Linux ISO">custom Kali Linux ISO</a> with them pre-included.</li> </ul> </li> <p><a href="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/06-hostname.png"><img width="600" alt="06-hostname" src="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/06-hostname.png" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5032"></a></p> <li>Enter a robust password for the root account.</li> <p><a href="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/07-root-password.png"><img width="600" alt="07-root-password" src="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/07-root-password.png" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5033"></a></p> <li>Next, set your time zone.</li> <p><a href="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/08-time-date.png"><img width="600" alt="08-time-date" src="http://docs.kali.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/08-time-date.png" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5034"></a></p> <li>The installer will now probe your disks and offer you five choices. In our example, we’re using the spare partition that we made during live mode, so we select ‘Guided – use the largest continuous free space’. <ul> <li>Experienced users can use the ‘Manual’ option for more granular configuration options. This option will also allow you to set up encrypted LVM, so Kali Linux would be fully encrypted. The screen afterwards will prompt you for the password. You will have to enter the same password every time you start up Kali Linux.</li> </ul> </li> <div class="st-alert st-alert- "><br> Kali will automatically securely wipe the hard disk before asking for the password. This may take ‘a while’ (hours) depending on size and speed of the drive.

mehw 2015-09-21 07:17 reporter ~0004024	In this post, I wrote some html code as example which unfortunately is interpreted by the browser when the page is loaded... I just wanted to show the code... sorry!
