    So i noticed in the advanced FAQ that a method to install linux onto an SD card partition is mentioned, but not expanded on. I am wondering how to go about this as it is almost exactly what I want to do.

    I have a Samsung Sidekick 4G, rooted, bootloader unlocked, et cetera. My desired end state is to actually run Kali Linux natively on the device. I am finding this project to be a lot of help, but not quite right. With the limitation of 4gb on a fat32 file system, i cannot make the image large enough to support kali's tools. I have Kali's samsung note 10.1 image that i was hoping to use as a jumping off point, even if i can only run it in a chroot environment, on an EXT4 partition on my SD card. I even managed to mount the EXT4 partition on the sidekick [a bit of a PITA]. Whenever I point the app at the location, it tells me that it cant open that location, so I cant even try using the IMG.

    Any help on any of this would be appreciated. Mostly, how to go about "installing" onto my EXT partition. Thanks in advance. Mason
