auto_install grub entries

[PlumberOfSound]

New to Ventoy and already a fan.  The part that pulled me to Ventoy over anything else, including hardware based ISO emulators, was the auto_install plugin, essentially raising Ventoy above simple ISO booting to a full fledged kickstart.  A a question on auto_install, however: once I configure a auto_install entry does that create a unique grub entry or does it mean that every time I attempt to boot the ISO configured it always uses the kickstart script?

It’s an « always on ». Every time you will boot this ISO the kickstart will be used.

That’s something I wanted to ask : will there be a way to choose to use the kickstart or not directly from grub ? Or maybe duplicate the ISO in the list, to choose a boot without the kickstart ?

In the next release, there will be a prompt for the iso with auto installation config, you can choose whether to use the auto installation script this time.

wow you’re awesome

Unfortunately I just tested and it don’t work. I have an error juste before the start of grub, but it passes to fast and I can’t read it.

Then when I select an iso with an auto_install file it don’t ask me anything...

If the prompt doesn't show, maybe there is some mistake in the json config.
You can press c to enter grub shell and run vt_dump_auto_install

You can give you ventoy.json here.
