Steps To Reproduce

Attempt Kali install from Kali USB
During Software Selection I made no changes in chosen packages (this happens automatically if Automated Install was chosen, I tested both):
[] Desktop environment
[
] ... XFCE
[ ] ... Gnome
[ ] ... KDE
[] Collection of tools
[
] ... top10
[*] ... default
[ ] ... large
Then continue

Additional Information

I tested this using both mirrors:

  • http.kali.org
  • mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu
