Kali Install Bug

[Lac]

There's a problem with installing Kali that the Kali team won't admit to. Once you reach the installation step, you get an error. The Kali guys claim it's because the person didn't give enough memory, but that's obviously not the case,  considering I have 2 TB. I let it do guided partitioning and then tried doing it manually with no success. (Yes, I did the manual partitioning correctly.) There are some threads on how to fix this, but they either don't work or include downloading the mini OS and installing with tools I will need and am not sure how to install post-OS-setup. I've also already spent hours downloading the ISO and then burning it to my CD, so I'd rather just install what I already have. Thanks for reading!

You've obviously done something wrong. Kali installs fine for many other people. Maybe the download was corrupted somehow?

While it works well for some, those above links show you how it doesn't for many others. The bug was dismissed as not being a bug, but it is. I have plenty enough memory to install and I've allocated enough of that memory to / and to swap. I believe you're correct that the download is corrupted, but by that I mean a bug. I downloaded it from www.kali.org/downloads.

Yeah try downloading the iso once more as Lucid hinted.

Check if  sha1sum of downloaded image matching to original.
