“Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. ^- one of my several previous posts on this subject so, yeah, it’s exasperating to find again today that this info needs to be repeated, reposted. Reposting here my previous antixforum post, quoting BitJam, the primary developer of the antiX Live system So, Ventoy does not bring real value to my daily antiX workflow, and remains just a toy (pun not intended) to host a couple other distro for me. BUT, an antiX booted this way does NOT have all the writable features available from a standard antiX liveUSB. The Ventoy part works as advertised, allowing dynamically choosing any ISO from USB drive, including an antiX iso.

Ventoy is available in versions for Windows and Linux.
Particularly interesting for the installation of Windows is the option to control setup execution via an answer file. In addition to ISO images, which can be larger than 4 GB, this tool also supports images in the WIM, IMG, and EFI formats. This mode ensures that the entire ISO is first loaded into memory and then started.Īccording to the project's homepage, Ventoy has been tested with more than 470 ISO files to date. In this case, Ventoy offers Memdisk mode, which is activated with the F1 key. On BIOS computers, it might happen that an operating system cannot be started directly from the ISO. You can also store any other file type on this partition for normal use of the USB stick. The OS can then be installed on an internal drive as needed. In this way, admins can, for example, store different Linux distributions, Windows PE, or ESXi on a single memory stick and boot the OS they need from there. Ventoy presents a boot menu with the ISO images copied to the second partition
