Ventoy is a tried and tested utility and a must-have for those of us running multiple distros. ------- Original Message ------- On Saturday, May 14th, 2022 at 10:53 AM, D. Hugh Redelmeier via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:
"Ventoy" is an open-source tool that allows you to put multiple .iso files on a USB stick. Has anyone tried it?

Why do I care?
When I want to install Fedora, for example, I fetch a .iso file and dd it straight to a USB stick. The result is a bootable live Fedora system that can install Fedora to a disk drive.
This same procedure works for Ubuntu and a lot of other distros.
One downside is that I have a collection of USB sticks that each has a .iso file. Each USB stick is mostly empty because .iso files are smaller than current USB sticks.
Ventoy might allow me to use a single USB stick for my whole collection. --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
