Summary0006649: Installation Failure occurring again and again.
Description

After the complete process of installation at the end step an error occurs stating that - "An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Select and install software."
It occurs recursively on clicking continue as many times as it appears to which the next page goes to a series of options with the highlighted one "Select and install software" which even after clicked gets to the next page with the beginning of the error.

What options are you choosing to install? 10GB storage may be too small. https://www.kali.org/docs/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-a-kali-linux-install/

I've tried 2GB RAM and 20GB storage on VMware and it crashed too.
I've done it using the network install option and also downloaded the full version.
All at the point just after "select and install software" - message on screen shows there's about 2000+ components to install and it crashed about half way through, i.e. after 1000+.

I've also downloaded the VMware image which starts up but as soon as I do a "apt update" and "apt upgrade", it crashed big time and I think it's at about same point because I saw a message saying "extra tools" or something like that.
