[gentoo-user] Ventoy: bootable USB drive for ISO files

[gentoo-user] Ventoy: bootable USB drive for ISO files

[james]

I wonder if any Gentoo dev is working on implementing this?

Has anyone tested it?

https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html

I just read about it on ycombinator....


curiously,
James

I went here:

https://www.ventoy.net/en/isolist.html

If you scroll down the list, about half way down the page, it shows
Gentoo as a option.  It has a minimal install and a live DVD option.  It
supports legacy and UEFI thingy.  I'm not sure how it works yet tho.  I
need to read a bit more.

Yep, but I cannot find either file anywhere?

Still searching for those (2017)an jan2020  images:


Gentoo
	install-amd64-minimal-20200119T214502Z.iso
	livedvd-amd64-hardened-nomultilib-20170118.iso

Let me know/post if there is a place actually download these iso files?

It seems like a LiveDVD image hasn't been built in a while:

I would guess you download from the distros site.  Here for Gentoo.

https://gentoo.org/downloads/

I'm not quite sure how it works yet tho.  Doing updates and such at the
moment.

  The file names change with every new build, i.e. the build date is
part of the file name, and the docs included the filename at the time.
Simply go to https://gentoo.org/downloads/ and download "Minimal
Installation CD" for amd64.  Or is there some hard-coded dependancy that
requires a specific build date file?
