Summary	0005264: Documentation Issue: USB Persistence creation
Description	No matter how I've built the USB drive, with dd or some external process, end=7Gb read start _ < <(du -bcm kali-linux-2016.2-amd64.iso \| tail -1); echo $start parted /dev/sdb mkpart primary $start $end does not appear to work creating the partition. read start _ < <(du -bcm kali-linux-2016.2-amd64.iso \| tail -1); echo $start throws an error and therefore the parted /dev/sdb mkpart primary $start $end Doesn't work. I managed to get it to work by creating the persistence partition with an external gparted.
Steps To Reproduce	attempting to follow the given persistence USB instructions

steev 2021-06-21 17:38 manager ~0014724	Documentation has been updated so it gets the latest release, so that people won't try to copy and paste the older ISO names in when attempting to build persistence partition.
