Managed yesterday to download the new enterprise version of backtrack which is called Kali last night and decided to play with installing into a virtual machine. I used to use VMWare a lot but have been using virtual box recently.
For this exercise decided to try and install into VirtualBox and after going through the graphical install routine from the ISO boot menu, on restarting got a critical error and at midnight decided to give it a rest and experiment later with the installation.
Tonight, although a VMWare version of Kali is available decided to install from the ISO image into VMWare, absoultly no problems with the process, although to get the open VM tools working fully in the graphical mode needed to run an additional command that is not on the Kali Documentation website http://docs.kali.org/general-use/install-vmware-tools-kali-guest
In addition to using
apt-get install open-vm-tools
you need to run the following
apt-get install open-vm-toolbox
A restart later and instance moving of mouse between guest and host.
Now to do some further playing and will post anything interesting
