ventoy | Cheatsheet¶
Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files.
With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the image files to the USB drive and boot it. You can copy many image files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them.
You can also browse ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files in local disk and boot them. x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI and MIPS64EL UEFI are supported in the same way. Both MBR and GPT partition style are supported in the same way.

Install Ventoy on USB¶
Be careful, this will erase all data on boot device
Install Ventoy via WebUI¶
This is the easier option, if your machine physically supports it. To proceed, plug an ethernet cable into the target machine now, and hook it up to your network (into the back of your cable or ADSL router etc.). Wait for a minute or so (for DHCP to allocate you an address), then (at the keyboard of your target PC) enter:
Please execute VenmtoyWeb.sh inside ventoy directory when using webui
root #cd ventoy-1.0.91 && bash VentoyWeb.sh
