Summary	0009642: Kali Installation on MAC1708 - fails at partman
Description	When trying to install Kali Linux by a USB Installation media in a MAC PRO Notebook, version 1708, Kali install goes fine until disk partition. By the moment of partman runs, its start and come to 56% of installation. Since that it stays as freeze (stop at 56%). Tryed several ways to install as graphic install, expert install, command line terminal install, etc but nothing happens. Run GPART by a live media and did manually the partitions definition (keep only EFI preserved). The same result, always. I gave up and install Ubuntu (runs ok) and, today, Parrot. Everything is fine I really do not believe that Parrot install can do it better than Kali.
