Adding "kali" to the Debian-based distro list. I tried setting up it on my Kali machine it worked but would like someone else to try to set up toshy on my Kali machine with this change.

Can you show me the contents of these files, or let me know if one of them doesn't exist?

/etc/lsb-release
/etc/os-release

I tried booting an older Kali ISO earlier and the distribution ID in /etc/lsb-release was "Debian", so it should have worked without the distro override. Unless the ID has changed. Or my environment module didn't handle the capitalization correctly.

I'll probably merge the PR either way, it's fine to have it in the list.

I am running the latest version of Kali, so I guess they have the ID in the new versions. Here is your output.

cat /etc/os-release 

PRETTY_NAME="Kali GNU/Linux Rolling"
NAME="Kali GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="2023.2"
VERSION="2023.2"
VERSION_CODENAME=kali-rolling
ID=kali
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.kali.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://forums.kali.org/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.kali.org/"
ANSI_COLOR="1;31"

Clearly, ID is no longer "Debian"

Great, thanks. That file actually wasn't present on the older ISO I was booting (though I didn't actually install Kali, so maybe it's only there after installing).

Looks like it's completely appropriate (and necessary) to add the distro ID to the list. Thanks! Good job finding the option to get through the installer.
