For Debian install you need to dd to USB or use cd.

And I recommend using the net-install with non-free-firmware and I don't 
recommend using Kali because it's a rolling release and never will be 
completely stable. Also you need to verify the .iso is a good download 
first.

These things are not hard to do.
