Answer 4

Choose "Other Linux 64-bit" or "Other Linux", depending on whether your installer ISO is 64 or 32 bit.

Answer 5

Hello, Kali is based on Debian, so you need to chose debian, question is which version. Maybe try debian 7 64 bit

And another thing I would offer to download kali image for vmware, not to try install yourself.

Answer 6

Debian. If your computer is 64-bit use that. And I believe that yes it is Debian 7.
