Ventoy

Installation

Install the ventoy-binAUR or ventoyAUR package.

Usage

Warning: The drive used will be erased and all its existing data will be lost after setup.

There are three utilities for setting up the media:

  1. /opt/ventoy/Ventoy2Disk.sh, which is a shell script to be run from the command line.
  2. /opt/ventoy/VentoyGUI.x86_64, which is a graphical application. xauth or a similar application is needed to escalate to root if the application is not started with root permissions.
  3. Opening file:///opt/ventoy/WebUI/index.html with a web browser.

The same utilities can be used for upgrading the Ventoy installation on the drive.

Ventoy creates two partitions on the drive. Their default names are Ventoy and VTOYEFI. The Ventoy partition is to store the bootable images (iso files), and any other data. VTOYEFI is for the Ventoy binaries.

To add images from which you can boot, mount the first partition and copy the images over.
