Rolling items

[Brockway]

A couple of notes while playing around:

• fresh install of rolling today is 4.3.0 kernel via uname -r, which cannot be found by apt-get during the install kernel headers section. However, if not using VMWareTools and using OpenVMTools this is irrelevant, the OpenVMTools gets the proper kernel info and build fine. Just odd.
• While testing to see why 4.3.0 was not being found/installed, I performed a dist-upgrade which today gets the default rolling distro to 4.4.0. However, the installer then bails out during Update OS from network repositories section because it finds 2 kernels
• There are redundant sections that add the right repos to /etc/apt/sources.list
• apt-get couldn't find a rolling version of shutter
• some little things like conky not being transparent is easy to fix

Great stuff and thanks

Ive just updated it to kali rolling. All these issues should now be fixed.

dynamite, and thanks. just curious, what was the earlier --rolling option about then?

It added kali rolling repos to kali 2 (didn't replace them - which was a mistake). At first, everything was okay. However after a few months rolling soon started to become very different to kali 2 (it grew into its own OS). As software got switched about/upgraded/different ways of doing things, my script needed to be updated to support it all.
