I have read many tutorials and guides, that try to explain how to have two OSes Kali and Raspbian (Wheezy) in the Pi using Berryboot. The problem is that I do not know how, where and when to install Berryboot, this is after or before installing NOOBS or Kali.

I tried two ways to achieve this.

First I copied NOOBS in the pi first. After pluging it to a display, mouse and keyboard and connecting it to the power supply, it asks if I want to install (i) NOOBS in the pi and that would erase the whole content of the sd card.

At this moment I understood that NOOBS itself does not allow to create partitions on first boot.

(in another instance)

Second I tried to install Kali first, because I thought it probably allow me to create partitions once installed in the Pi in the case Kali have not used the whole sd card storage. Unfortunately it does.

I hope you understand me, I tried my best English!

PS: I do not care if you suggest me not to use Berryboot, the main problem is dual-booting Kali and NOOBS. And it is not needed to answer all here, a useful webpage link would be really appreciated.

To explain it in a short and easy way:

You are thinking wrong... NOOBS is not an OS but something like a bootloader! - so you can either use NOOBS or BerryBoot.

I would advise you to use BerryBoot as explained on the Homepage!

First install Raspbian with the built-in installer and then use "BerryBoot menu editor" - "Add OS" to install Kali via the right image from a flash drive.

Kali is made for raspberry as it is arm based program but it can harm your sdcard... i have faced many problems, like corruption of software of kali and it boots up on tty1/tty2 on recovery mode.... i have to manually connect keyboard to it and execute "fsck" command to repair... i don't like to connect it to hdmi and keyboard....
