Welcome to the SDR wiki!

Needed to change VT setting in BIOS to allow virtual box to use 64bit arch Installed 64bit Kali 9.0.1 from ISO in a 16GB VirtualBox Virtual Disk Image (NOTE: 8GB is NOT enough disk space!)

root@kali:~# cat /etc/debian_version
Kali Linux 1.0.9

create a user other than root

root@kali:~# useradd -m username
root@kali:~# passwd username
root@kali:~# usermod -a -G sudo username
root@kali:~# chsh -s /bin/bash username
root@kali:~# su username
root@kali:/root$ cd ~
username@kali:~$

Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main non-free contrib

Reference: http://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories username@kali:~$ sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

Now you can install the metapackage with:

username@kali:~$ apt-get update
username@kali:~$ apt-get dist-upgrade
username@kali:~$ apt-get install kali-linux-sdr
