To format a USB drive, use the Terminal, Disk Utility, and Pen drive, respectively. ![]() Once the process is complete, you can boot your computer from the USB drive and start using Kali Linux. Finally, click on the “Create” button and the Kali Linux ISO will be copied to your USB drive. Next, select the Kali Linux ISO file that you downloaded and select your USB drive from the drop-down menu. Once you have downloaded the ISO, launch the Universal USB Installer and select Kali Linux from the list of distributions. Before we begin, you will need to download the Kali Linux ISO file from the official website. This can be done using a number of tools, but in this article, we will use the Universal USB Installer.

I then rebooted again to make sure the changes that I made and the settings were retained. Then, I just rebooted to the newly created USB flash drive stick of Linux Mint Cinnamon v17.3 and updated the internet connection with my password, added a couple programs from Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM), brought up the file manager which showed the space was greater than 4gb.

Do not forget to delete the "casper-rw" file first from the USB flash drive stick. Step 2: These instructions are from the link below. If you want more persistent space than 4gb, and your flash drive has the space, continue to step 2. If you do not want any more persistent space than 4gb, you are done, exit the MultiSystem program and reboot to try it. Then you can add more OS's, if you want, and only one can have "persistence". Tip2: If you want "persistence" for a particular Operating System (OS) on this USB stick, then after putting an operating system on the stick, click the MSLM menu options, and select "persistence", and follow the instructions. Tip1: You must format the USB stick with the "fat32" format, and give it a volume name, before using this program not just the default "USB STICK" that the Mint USB Stick Formatter shows, that is not a volume name, so change it to something else.
