In times when you don=E2=80=99t even= get=20 sticks below 8 GB anymore, I found it a waste of material and useful storag= e=20 space. And then I found ventoy: https://www.ventoy.net/ It is a mini-Bootloader which you install once to a USB device, kind-of a= =20 live system of its own. But when booting it, it dynamically scans the=20 content of its device and creates a new boot menu from it. So you can put= =20 many ISOs on one device as simple files, delete them, upgrade them,=20 whatever, and then you can select one to boot from. Plus, the rest of the= =20 stick remains usable as storage, unlike sticks that were dd=E2=80=99ed with= an ISO. --=20 Gr=C3=BC=C3=9Fe | Greetings | Salut | Qapla=E2=80=99 Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
