you have to boot from the key.
this is only for use of the included isos Instructions are given in the ventoy archive sudo bash Ventoy2Disk.sh { -i | -I | -u } /dev/sdX sdX is the USB device, for example /dev/sdb.
Yes that's what I did. Insert the key and reboot. The Ventoy screen comes up but says it did not find any files.
if you just run the above command before rebooting, it's normal, no iso are on the drive
From the command line.. .. "cp whatever.iso /dev/sdc1"
sure this overwrite the ventoy install! To have a bootable key with only opensuse you have to type /dev/sdc (without the "1"), an iso is a full drive, not a partition.
I can't understand why I can't mount the key to have a look at what's on
do it again. run the above ventoy command then I don't remember if you even have to remove the key. Me I just right now plug a ventoy usb pen. Dolphin shows a "ventoy" disk, a clic ad it mounts an exfat partition, you can copy isos to this mounted partition as a file, not as a device . There is an other hidden (EFI) partition with ventoy driver. mine: Disk /dev/sde: 120.22 GiB, 129083899904 bytes, 252116992 sectors Disk model: STORE N GO Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x09a21f19 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sde1 * 2048 252051455 252049408 120.2G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sde2 252051456 252116991 65536 32M ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32) then you can boot the usb pen and ventoy launch and shows the isos and offers to boot. booting the iso works often, but not always (approx ratio 4 times on 5 tries). Depends on the iso, the hardware, whatever... jdd -- mon serveur usenet: dodin.fr.nf c'est quoi, usenet? http://www.dodin.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Usenet.Usenet
