Is it possible to run a shell script from the Ventoy partition?

How does Ventoy identify which files to attempt to boot?

Hi,

I want to enter some data (like e.g. ComputerName) before the installation starts. I tried the solution from here: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/...-773552387

Basically that's a Batch Script loaded via winpeshl.ini asking for user input.

Which works really well when the iso is loaded via USB (both plain USB or classic Ventoy). However, when loading the same iso via iVentoy it seems to be ignored / skipped and goes straight to the auto installer part.

I also tried via injection, but it's the same (though I can see in the log that VentoyAutoRun.bat is being executed, but no Shell window opens).

Host OS for iVentoy: openSUSE Linux
Version 1.0.18 Pro Edition
ISO: Windows 11 22h2

Hope you can give me some advice.

Regards

My dear illustrious Leaders and Senior Members of Ventoy,

I have used Ventoy to boot several Live ISOs and am really impressed by its performance. I am a new member to the ventoy forums, having registered only yesterday.

Having used Knoppix since 2007 and being enamoured by the System, I gradually learnt to boot from the Live ISO and also have a persistent set up, that is, I could add or remove packages and data from the system, using another partition to save the files required for the altered set up. I works wonderfully for me still.

My only problem is that the leaders I knew and interacted with are no longer active. They were very aged already, so I fear for the worst. It appears that none has taken up the project from Prof. Klaus Knopper, which is really sad. The forum is no longer as active as it was.

This persistence of Knoppix (or puppy Linux) never fails to amaze me. If Ventoy could support booting from a Live ISO, it could perhaps also help with persistence using another HDD partition for such persistence, like knoppix did.

I have a couple of posts in the Knoppix forums that has this idea of persistence captured.
The most important file for using persistent in Knoppix:

knoppix-data.inf
with one line within the file:
3 /KNOPPIX-DATA ext4

Ref: http://knoppix.net/forum/threads/31923-d...post133929

Assume that the knoppix iso is extracted in the ext4 partition /dev/sda2 and persistent is planned to be in the ext4 partition /dev/sda3 within a directory /KNOPPIX-DATA. I will quote from the aforesaid post:

Quote:If you want to use your ext4 partition (guessing it's /dev/sda3) as persistent storage for Knoppix, you must create a file /dev/sda2/KNOPPIX/knoppix-data.inf with this content:
Code:

3 /KNOPPIX-DATA ext4

This tells Knoppix to mount partition 3 on this hard disk on mountpoint /KNOPPIX-DATA as an ext4 file system. ...

I am not sure if if I have misunderstood what Ventoy is used for, so am asking for some clarification. I have downloaded and installed Ventoy to a USB stick and have placed two Operating system ISO's into the Ventoy partition, Windows 11 and Ubuntu. I am able to run these; in Ubuntus case am able to use Live system. However I wanted to use Ventoy to install the Os's so that I could boot into them as fully operational. When I tried to do this, say with Ubuntu, it asked me which partition to use but only gave me the Partitions on my Computer the USB stick was greyed out. Is it possible to use Ventoy as I described and if so could someone point me in the right direction to get instruction on how to do this. Thank you for any help offered. Stephen

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85)]I installed Ventoy on a hard drive and kept a portion of the size. On this portion of the size, I used the installed Ventoy to install a Centos system. Now, the partition of this hard drive is as follows[/color]




Now I want to add a Ventoy menu during Centos boot, so that I can re-enter Ventoy and correctly read the ISO files stored in the sdb1 partition, so that I can reinstall the system. Is there any solution. My device can boot with BIOS and EFI. If possible, please provide me with examples of these two. Thank you

请问大家如何实现iventoy的跨网段部署（不使用第三方的dhcp服务器）？

"theme_800x600" "theme_1024x768" "theme_1920x1080" - They have 3 different background images with different resolutions, but for some reason background image and theme is drawn randomly by "default_file": "0" regardless of selected resolution and "resolution_fit": "1" is ignored every time when I boot Ventoy, why?
I tried it on live system UEFI/BIOS and VirtualBox VM UEFI/BIOS, monitor resolution 1920x1080. I also tried to remove "default_file": "0", but issue still persists.

Hello guys,

First i would like to thank you for awesome tool that you have created . It's almost perfect way of creating rescue usb stick or disk with all essential tools that you need along the way. Not to mention other features like menu customization and so on...

Anyway for few days i was messing around with Ventoy VHD or VDHx boot from exFAT or NTFS partition but non of them was working, until i finnaly managed to boot one no mater partition type. I will post video tutorial on how to do that in few days. 

What i was unable to boot was Win 10 XPE or any other rescue image. I can boot it in Hyper-V directly but from Ventoy i get an critical error so that is still to be tested. Maybe there is issue in BDC config since XPE is booting from ram so maybe my settings are wrong. If you have BDC settings suggestion let me know.

Meanwhile you can watch Ventoy in action.
