Hello All, if I could take a moment of your time to ask what is likely a ridiculous question nonetheless it's driving me mad... I have tried everything I can think of to get it working yet I can't get Berryboot to see kali or parrot I tried both at different times. I have kali formatted correctly and downloaded from the recommended location I have it on a usb and on a micro and card and I tried both on the PI4. When I use BB to search for an image I see everything except what I am looking for lol. Both times I am getting hung up at the part where I am showing BB MY custom image... it's seemingly not there. Any info is helpful! Is there a particular img file I need to use for kali? I'm sure I am doing something wrong but I'm not smart so treat me like a child I was a marine so what do you expect to much eating lead paint. Thx

Not sure what you have tried exactly. But following this steps should work.

First download BerryBoot from https://www.berryterminal.com/doku.php/berryboot

Notice the line where it says Download link Berryboot for the Pi 3, 4 and Pi 400 there is the link to get it.

Then, format an SD Card with FAT32 format.

Extract the contents of the downloaded file into the SD Card. Insert that SD Card on your Raspberry and power it. A first time setup should show up. (As shown on that website)

After that, download the Kali Image you want for BerryBoot (Notice that an image for BerryBoot is not the same that an image for Raspberry in general)

https://berryboot.alexgoldcheidt.com/search-downloads/?dl_cat=0&dl_search=kali

From there make sure to select the correct one for your Raspberry Version.

Download the compressed file. Once downloaded extract the content into a USB Stick.

Plug that into the Raspberry. Power it again and in the menu select "Edit Menu" and in this new window, long press left click over "Add OS" from there select "copy OS from USB stick" Select your image on the USB Stick, then once it's done, click "Exit"

That should show your new iso and be ready to use.

On a side note, if the ISO you want to use is not on a BerryBoot format, you could try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmrOYPQ8KoI
