Multiple ISOs with Ventoy

Ventoy allows you to boot of multiple different ISOs from a single USB drive. Either download it directly from https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases and read the documentation about how it works. Or follow my guide.

Linux

Before we start we need to install the exfat tools.

sudo apt update && sudo apt install exfatprogs

Determine the latest version (everything in one line).

version=$(curl -Ls -o /dev/null -w %{url_effective} https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases/latest/download 2>&1 | grep -Po [0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+)

Download the application (everything in one line).

cd ~/ && wget https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases/download/v$version/ventoy-$version-linux.tar.gz

Untar the the file you downloaded and enter that catalog.

tar -xvf ventoy-$version-linux.tar.gz && cd ventoy-$version

Run ./VentoyGUI.x86_64
Pick your USB stick in the list and click "Install"

Now you should have a mounted USB drive called Ventoy. Just copy as many ISO files as you want to the USB drive and they will show up in Ventoys boot menu.

Windows

Open Powershell and paste the commands below.

Get the URL to the for the latest release (everything in one line).

$result = (((Invoke-Webrequest https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases/latest -UseBasicParsing).Links | Where-Object {$_.href -like "*windows*"} ) | Select-Object href).href

Download the application (everything in one line).

Invoke-Webrequest -Uri https://github.com/$result -Outfile ventoy.zip

Extract the contents of the file, enter the catalog and run the application (everything in one line).

$version = $result.Substring(34,6); Expand-Archive -Path ventoy.zip -DestinationPath .; cd ventoy-"$version"; .\Ventoy2Disk.exe

If you get a popup saying

Do you want to allow this app form an unknown publisher to make changes to your deive?

Click Yes.

Select your USB drive and click Install. When it's done, just copy as many ISO files as you want to the USB drive and they will show up in Ventoys boot menu.
