1/22/2024 0 Comments Rufus kali linux![]() ![]() To be clear: My interest isn't in Rufus, but in making sure the record is clear given the amount of Google juice this ticket has for queries re: UEFI booting of ISO media in general. But I'm not going to do the same for Kali (or some Acronis ISOs, which I also see requested quite a lot), because it simply isn't a sensible investment. Heck, it took me about 1 month full time development to sort out a Windows XP bootable ISO -> Windows XP bootable USB process I could be happy about. But when you clearly don't design that loader with the idea that people will want to convert your ISO to USB, and shouldn't have to jump through hoops to do so, don't come complaining if Rufus won't support it. It's the same with BIOS: You can always create your own super-specific ISO loader, that complies with El-Torito or whatever. If Kali wants to make life harder for developers of ISO → USB applications like Rufus, whereas they just have to take a look at the myriad of Linux distros who handle dual BIOS+UEFI boot, and handle it well, to take some hints, then they'll have to wait until I have nothing better to do than invest some time in their non-defacto EFI boot. ![]() But really the Kali people should know better than use El-Torito with UEFI when everybody else uses the standard HD loaders from EFI/boot, and with good reason. ![]()
