![]() Third time's the charm right? Well after waiting around forever, it has once again downloaded the ISO and this time also extracted it. You moan a bit, proceed to delete/move even more files off of C:\ and restart the tool. This time the download finishes successfully, but after the download you get an error because it turns out it wants to extract what it downloaded - and of course hardcoded to the C:\ drive. You grumble a bit, proceed to delete/move some files off of C:\ so that it could download the ISO and then restart the tool. It's hardcoded to the C:\ drive which can easily be a small SSD that is already almost full. Then you find out that it won't let you choose where to save the temporary ISO file that it wants to download. You download the tool and want to create a Windows 10 bootable USB, so you run the executable. Primarily because it is slow and has very quirky requirements that it doesn't advertise and only checks for at the very last second. The official Windows media creation tool is a bit of an abomination. Expect to spend weeks if not months on it if you're new to GRUB scripts/components. unfortunately documentation on these is poor, and some modules are mutually exclusive, so have fun.īest of luck getting a robust boot menu script going. You'll also want to make sure you've insmod'ed any modules you need for your hardware as necessary (storage, USB, etc.). Which makes it difficult to make these future-proof. Using the built-in GRUB menus won't work in many cases. In general you'll have to boot the kernels directly as shown above. boot=live union=overlay config components toram=.squashfs findiso=. vmlinuz boot=casper file=./ed iso-scan/filename=. I just love the tool for what it is.Īssuming you loopback mount the ISO, I think these are the major args. I am in no way personally involved with Ventoy, nor do I have a stake in it. It's one of the very few tools I endorse without any hesitation or reservation. Ventoy is great!!! I'd recommend everyone to at least have a look at it. Until I discovered Ventoy, about a year or two ago, I would always be hesitant to recommend running Linux from USB, unless I knew the exact setup (or it involved someone with a decent technical skills). ![]() The situation certainly got better/easier with the years, but it can still be a gamble if an odd Linux distro will actually boot successfully from USB or not. I honestly don't care to remember all the odd issues/failures I've encountered during those 17 years. Even if it does not support absolutely everything (last time I checked), it is by far the most hassle free and sure-fire solution.įor context, I have professionally deployed Linux on USB, ever since around 2004. Ventoy is indeed one of the best (if not THE best) tool for this.
