linux lite over kali linux

[trinidad]

How old is the Kali install? grml-rescueboot should be available for it. Goes back to at least wheezy. Make sure you get the right version. May have to use the PPA. If your Kali is Jessie should work fine for you to download the LL ISO and use grnl-rescueboot to boot the ISO from HDD. Worth a try. You can also install VLC and Firefox 52 ESR if your Kali is Jessie. If you are going to use Kali as a desktop you should add a non-root user if you haven't already. I have LL3.4 32bit and Deb 8 32bit on two separate Sisun mechanically switched SATA drives (LL on 80 g 5400, Deb on 160g 7200) on an old HP dc7600 that came with XP (OEM DOM 2005) with 1gig of ram and a 3g cpu. Everything works perfectly and very fast. What's the hardware info on your old pc running Kali?

Hello wesley,

An option if you RAM is okay you can set up Virtual Box on Linux Lite in your newest computer, it is at
Menu>System>Lite Software
There is a tutorial in the help manual to set it up https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/tutorials.html#vbox
You can add Kali Linux iso in to Virtual Box and run it from in there.
I used Kali only few times and it was in VirtualBox in LL.

The windows XP computer you can install Linux Lite, then Menu>System>Lite Software  and install "Restricted Extras". There was updates to the Flash alternative yesterday in Menu>Favorites>Install Updates.

Re:
You can use Kali terminal take down the pages to view offline, share folders and view using browser and flash on LL.
You can also do this entirely in LL, and also using a browser.
How its done you can also do with a spider if you have it this.

Other alternative -
You can to use VLC player make the settings it will convert the flash videos to mpg videos.
ClibGrab in LL will also get the flash videos and make it mp4

I hope it helps you choose the solution. There will be other ways, these are just the ones I use.
