in my test it is not realy working "as if they are a Frugal installed PUP." These booter services do work and work well to boot ISO files, directly, while eliminating MANY of the issues newcomers and less experience users run into with USBs and the issues needed to build Frugals or FULL you make this comment PUP operations are exactly as the PUP developer produces.

That fact does not, though, interfere with the PUP's operation, nor does it introduce stability or system performance issues of any sort. And is clear that the exFAT support might not be built-into the PUP. These 2 booters you reference DO NOT CHANGE any PUPs or recommendation, I wholeheartedly agree with as once the PUP-DOG is booted to desktop, it may not have that Linux subsystem support built-in the PUP-DOG. I hope you focus on where PUPs are today as they continue to add support for new files system, new hardware while maintaining compatibility with as much older as is possible. I do not recommend using older PUPs before Dec 2019 for SG2D. You are trying to hard to focus on the past. Expect to spend weeks if not months on it if you're new to GRUB scripts/components.Hi These ISO files booters are different from traditional booting. unfortunately documentation on these is poor, and some modules are mutually exclusive, so have fun.īest of luck getting a robust boot menu script going. You'll also want to make sure you've insmod'ed any modules you need for your hardware as necessary (storage, USB, etc.). Which makes it difficult to make these future-proof. Using the built-in GRUB menus won't work in many cases. In general you'll have to boot the kernels directly as shown above. boot=live union=overlay config components toram=.squashfs findiso=. vmlinuz boot=casper file=./ed iso-scan/filename=. I just love the tool for what it is.Īssuming you loopback mount the ISO, I think these are the major args.


I am in no way personally involved with Ventoy, nor do I have a stake in it. It's one of the very few tools I endorse without any hesitation or reservation. Ventoy is great!!! I'd recommend everyone to at least have a look at it. Until I discovered Ventoy, about a year or two ago, I would always be hesitant to recommend running Linux from USB, unless I knew the exact setup (or it involved someone with a decent technical skills). The situation certainly got better/easier with the years, but it can still be a gamble if an odd Linux distro will actually boot successfully from USB or not. I honestly don't care to remember all the odd issues/failures I've encountered during those 17 years. Even if it does not support absolutely everything (last time I checked), it is by far the most hassle free and sure-fire solution.įor context, I have professionally deployed Linux on USB, ever since around 2004. Ventoy is indeed one of the best (if not THE best) tool for this.
