setting up Ventoy get linux archive of latest version on https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html Extract ventoy folder in a directory you’d like to install Open terminal in directory with ventoy unpacked Plug in usb stick you wish to install ventoy to. find out what’s /dev/ address of that stick by typing into terminal lsblk and observing disks you have there. In my case needed stick was 32 gig sandisk data traveler. It appeared as /dev/sdb to me. Now you execute installer script with -i argument standing for install as first argument and address of your usb stick as second argument. script will most likely ask for your sudo password! Make sure you have right usb stick mentioned and confirm data loss. Installation will start. After it successfully completes installation you will have removable device called ventoy mounted. All you have left to do is to copy .iso, .vdi or .img files to that ventoy partition and you’re set to go! This guide was compiled on Nov 30 2020 by u/vega_D for Linux For Everyone community.
