Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Somedays ago, one puppy user ask at puppy forum how to install two O.S. in one USB. I answer there the easiest solution when using puppy (because you can use a program that you can find at the PPM, Puppy Package Manager) but today I want to share with you another solution, could be THE BEST, because this is how I installed 1000 OS in one USE.

Testing operating systems, whether on a real computer or a virtual machine, can be a tedious task. Every time we want to change the system, or one of them, like Windows, Ubuntu, Puppy… releases a new version, it is necessary to create a bootable USB from scratch, with the time that this entails. For this reason, whether we try many operating systems or if we like to always carry one with us, today I gonna talk about a tool that will undoubtedly change your lives: Ventoy .

Many times I recommended you to use programs like Rufus, Universal Boot Creator and so on . These tools allows us to download Windows and Linux ISO images and, at the same time, burn them to a bootable USB so that we can use said memory to start the computer from scratch. However, every time we want to change the system, we have to completely format the flash drive and record it again, with the time and work that this entails.

Ventoy is a somewhat different program. Instead of being a tool to burn ISO to USB, what this tool does is allow us to create a bootable USB with a bootloader . Once this bootable system has been created, we can use it to boot any operating system without the need to previously record it to USB.

JAJAJAJ... "I'm a poet" so I use this stylistic resource know as Hyperbole, because with it I wanna create a vivid and dramatic image in the reader's mind trying to motivate them to use Ventoi, haha, and I used it to create a sense of humor or irony, as the exaggerated language can be used to highlight the absurdity of a situation as, of course, you imagined.

Really pleased that you read this post (the complete one) .- Thanks.
