I learned about Ventoy from ThioJoe on Youtube in this video. It is a bootable USB image that allows you to place ISOs on the drive and then choose which one to boot. This allows one USB drive to act as a master install/rescue/debug drive.
Linux Instructions:
- Download from github: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases
- Extract
- tar xvzf ventoy-*-linux.tar.gz
- run Web UI
- cd ventory-*/
- sudo ./VentoyWeb.sh
- Use browser to go to http://127.0.0.1:<port>
- Format the USB drive
- WARNING: This will delete all data/files off the USB drive
- Refresh local drives
- sudo partprobe
- Open the USB folder and copy in ISOs
What I put on the USB drive:
- Windows 11 install ISO: https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
- Memtest86: https://www.memtest86.com/tech_booting-cd-dvd.html
- Linux install ISOs (also work as LiveCDs): Choose your favorite distro or have as many as will fit on your USB stick
