**IMPORTANT NOTE** Following the instructions below and in particular installing kali-linux-full will **BREAK YOUR VM**. Don't do it. It needs further investigation. The problem is:

Steps to build a Kali template
------------------------------

1. You'll need to fetch the Kali GPG key from a dispVM as the template you'll
build won't have direct internet connectivity unless you enable it from the

3. When you are happy you can probably remove the `kali` template and its
backup copies; then use only `kali-tools` as a template.
Don't forget to back up your appVMs as [audio CDs].

Template.
You should probably inspect the script and make sure it does what you want
