#THIOJOE VENTOY INSTALL#

Ventoyįrom one of the comments I got to know that there is a new project called ventoy for the same use case. One multi boot project has been there for sometime but it seems that it is no longer maintained. Now that we have cheaper high capacity USB sticks available, I thought to checkout a multi boot system. Till now I have been doing it by creating single Live-USB drives. IVentoy could make things a lot easier for network administrators who need to deploy operating systems regularly on network devices.I am always interested in trying out new Linux Distros just to see whats new. The last steps involves configuring the server IP and the IP po0l before activating the green button in the interface to start the PXE service.Īdditional information on using iVentoy, including using it for auto installations, is provided on the official website of the project. Linux users may run sudo bash iventoy.sh start from Terminal and load afterwards to display the web interface as well. Activation of this opens the web interface. Running the Windows version opens a small interface with an open link button. Directories may be used for classification, but neither the filename of the ISO images nor the directory may contain spaces or non-unicode characters. After downloading iVentoy, users need to copy one or multiple ISO images to the ISO directory.

The getting started documentation explains all basic steps to start using the software.
#THIOJOE VENTOY ZIP FILE#
The application is offered as a zip file that contains the Linux and Windows editions of it. Since it is new, Windows SmartScreen may throw a warning. The iVentoy application is available for Linux and Windows currently. IVentoy supports the x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI and ARM64 UEFI modes at the same time and over 110 different versions of Windows, WinPE, Linux and VMWare at the time of writing.
#THIOJOE VENTOY PRO#
The Pro edition lifts the client limit, allows commercial use and supports ARM64. The home version may not be used in commercial environments or with commercial intent, is limited to a maximum of 5 clients, and does not support ARM64. Second, iVentoy is available in a free-for-home edition and also as a commercial edition. First, while Ventoy is open source, iVentoy's source code has not been released at this point.

There are significant differences between Ventoy and iVentoy. The developer describes iVentoy as an "enhanced version of the PXE server".Ī PXE server is a allows clients in a network to be booted from a server before installing operating systems on the clients.īoth applications, Ventoy and iVentoy, support the same core functionality this includes booting directly from disk images without extraction, cross-platform support, Mac address filtering and management, file injection support and more. The new iVentoy software takes the underlying concept of running and installing multiple operating systems from a single USB device to the network level.
