Editing Grub2 menu entries manually in Linux Mint
For editing/removing boot entries, edit grub.cfg file present in /boot/grub/. To remove extra operating system entry (say Linux Mint 12 installed on sda8) remove these lines from grub.cfg file
...
Do not run command update-grub after editing/removing/renaming entries in grub.cfg file as this command reconfigures grub.cfg file and will again include all operating systems present on system. 

"Network Mirror", is it required?
Adding Kali Linux mirrors after offline installation
If you installed Kali offline from a CD/DVD or USB (or have chosen not to connect to internet during installation), you probably have an empty sources.list file with just 2 lines on it (CDROM’s). ... you won’t get the mirrors or repositories during a hard disk install added to your sources.list file. This will cause issues in the future when seeking new or updated software packages from the Kali repos.

“gzip: stdin has more than one entry--rest ignored” and “gzip: tmp.gz has more than one entry — unchanged”
this can happen if it's actually a ZIP-file rather than a gz-file, just with a misleading extension, and it contains multiple files. (gzip -d does support ZIP-files that contain only one file.)

In my case, that's exactly right:
$ file tmp.gz
tmp.gz: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract

and using unzip rather than gzip -d worked perfectly.

FreeNAS Active Directory Integration

Installing FreeNAS to USB stick (new and simpler way)
If you want to reformat the USB device in Windows OS, the USB key will get just 942.51 MB available, the rest unable to be formatted (even if you try to eliminate the remaining partitions).
If this occurs, do not panic because there is a solution. With software for Managing Disk Partitions this situation can be easily resolved.
In our case we used MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition. Through such software, you can delete the partitions fails through Windows Disk Management and format the Pen. Guarantee that is "like new". You can download the free software mentioned in: http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html.

...related: MiniTool Partition Wizard Professional Edition portable 8.1BASEM.rar


Things to be cautious about:
For those that care, in the AD configuration window there is a field that says "hostname" This does not refer to the hostname of the DC, it wants a hostname you want FreeNAS to use in your AD.

I put in the hostname of my DC out of reflex, it destroyed my DC and required a call to Microsoft to repair. A very expensive lesson on my part. I'd rather not have anyone else repeat it.
