Ventoy LiveCDfor example ventoy-1.0.20-livecd.iso has only an EFI directory in it. Get the EFI directory and copy it to the root of the FAT32 partition above.5.3 Reboot your computer, and select USB boot option in UEFI modeRestart your computer (better to cold restart), change the BIOS mode to UEFI and boot the USB drive. Finally enter the LiveCD OS and then follow the prompts at the end of this article.

I'd like to have Window To Go on a Ventoy stick. I got some Linux Live distros on it and I'd like to add Windows. I hear when it comes to a live Windows USB, my only option is the now discontinued(?) Windows To Go that I could still create through Rufus. But I don't want to use Rufus. I want to use Ventoy. How can I do that?
Using ventoy, it is possible to simply drop the iso file in the directory and boot from there. I put the archiso file and some configuration files in the directory, which will be needed when using the live system.
I need to access the said configuration files and so I'm trying to mount it. The problem is that when I try to do that, the output says that the device has already been mounted. But mount and findmnt don't seem to show any mountpoint corresponding to the live usb.
TIL. I didn't even know ventoy had a persistence plugin. I just use it to house all my distro isos to boot to for installing. I wouldn't run a OS off a USB unless I had to (once did a work from home stint where they sent a USB with a preconfigured Linux setup that you had to boot off to do your work, was call center from home & they didn't provide any equipment).
When you boot your system, can press f11 or whatsoever to get to a boot options menu,
you have two options related to the ventoy/usb made in gpt partitioning mode that allow you
to boot in bios or uefi mode. So when there is a problem booting an ISO, in uefi mode we can try
the other mode which generally always works.
The basics are simple and the defaults will generally get you started. However, Ventoy is highly user configurable and allows a great deal of user control. Further still, it has the ability to create a live USB drive with more than one distro on it.
The first part of this tutorial will cover downloading and installing Ventoy, and creating a live USB drive with Bodhi Linux. The second part will cover creating a persistent USB drive with Bodhi Linux on it.
and create a folder in your working directory called ventoy-1.0.51. To clarify, your working directory should now contain the tar.gz file we downloaded and a folder with the contents of the compressed file as below.
Now that we have Ventoy successfully installed on the USB drive, next we need to create a file structure on it. Create three folders named ISO, persistence, and ventoy.
Arch Linux : I only found the installation image, not a live distro, and I got the same result as Sheila, i.e., a terminal console to install Arch Linux. BIOS Mode - I tested it in both normal mode and grub2 mode and it ran successfully. UEFI Mode - It only ran in grub2 mode.
Thanks so much Tech_JA I thought I was crazy or did something wrong. You did get Fedora live working and I am going to try your link and see if I can get Fedora live working with my AMD hardware or the BIOS on my Ventoy, as I did want to see that.
I have created live usb with ventoy (rufus as well) and when running "Try Ubuntu or Install" option it appears to be extremely slow, i.e. on UI mouse is barely moving, as well as navigating from keyboard.
I would try to use an empty USB Stick and use Balena Etcher for flashing. Install Balena Etcher on Windows and then flash the Stick with Trisquel. This should work without problems.
Then booting into Trisquel should work also. Next try Trisquel live to test if everything is working fine.
You can run the script with verbose execution so that you may get clues about what is failing:
# sh -x isocomp.sh -p /mnt/supermedia/persistence.icc -P 2G -i /mnt/supermedia/slackware64-live-current.iso
I dislike Gnome, but I have Mate and Cinnamon ISOs because I know that I can use a reliable package repository for those desktop environ,ents, and I know its maintainer.
There used to be Dlackware; and liveslak supports it, because I knew its maintainer and we worked out together how to get it running as a Live system; but its development stalled.
I do not know of any GNOME package repository for Slackware. So no GNOME support in Slackware, nor a GNOME ISO.
I used liveslak to install Slackware on a new machine. In windows 11, I created some empty space on the nvme disk, and used the Install Slackware icon on the desktop, created some partitions with the installer. It went well but I note two issues.
1. The dialogs for entering new user and password didnt work well or intuitively. Somehow i was able to succeed on 2nd install attempt.
2. I opted for a rather restrictive firewall which i now regret. How can i undo that without restalling?
I've been using Ventoy for booting live environments from ISO files.I want to create a full installation of Fedora on a USB drive, not just a live USB.To my situation: I have a friend's pc, my pc and a work pc on which I want to have the same data and programs etc. and thought the best way to do this would be a full install usb stick.I understand that a full installation would allow me to save changes, install software, and update the system just like a regular installation, but on a portable USB stick. (correct?) And I'd like to use this full Fedora installation in a multiboot setup with Ventoy, alongside live Linux distributions and other ISO environments.
Is it possible to boot a full fedora/generally linux install (instead of a live usb with persistence which is something difference if i understood it correctly) with a multiboot setup like ventoy or would I have to setup something like grub?
Is what I'm doing even recommended?Does this work if all CPU-architectures are the same? What if they aren't? Would a live boot with persistence work then? Are there any other problems I might want to pay attention to?
But now, with the Ventoy 1.0.54 release, you can use the Ventoy GUI straight from the live ISO image on virtually any operating system. Of course, you can always switch to the command-line mode using Ctrl+Alt+F2, but personally I find it faster to work with the GUI.
For more details on the changes implemented in the new release, check out the GitHub release notes page, from where you can also download the live ISO, binaries for Linux and Windows, as well as the source tarball.
I've been using Ventoy for the past two years and I can't recall any situation where it backfired! It works like a charm. Some people, like my colleague Ankush, prefer Etcher for creating live USBs. That too is a good tool but I prefer Ventoy.
Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk again and again, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it.
No, that's not pure Linux, that's Linux under Windows 10. Though that is something someone can do to try it out, I'd recommend using a "live USB" instead as the user doesn't need to make changes to their main OS (also when I tried it it hosed my Windows 10 install, and that was with both WSL1 and WSL2). The nice thing about a live USB is it just goes away when the computer is rebooted. VenToy is some amazing software that will also let them try out multiple ISOs on the same stick from a GRUB2 menu.
