Bunch of tested ISOs
#1
Hi,

thanks for creating Ventoy! While still not perfect, this has already superseded my own multiboot script that is (surprise, surprise) pretty badly maintained, as booting stuff from USB isn't my daily business and I also do not have collaborators working on it.

Now, I tested a bunch of my old images and given the opportunity, I also downloaded the most recent versions and ran them as well. Here's a list of them for you to add to the front page ISO compatibility list.

Images failing to boot are not meant as an immediate call for action - a big chunk of them are either old versions that do have a newer working revision (say antiX), or might be outdated/abandoned in general (e.g. aptosid). There's also some non-OpenSource tools (Solaris) that might have no interest in cooperation to make things work. I consider images without size information as obsolete and already deleted them from my drive. I ran all of them for the lulz as I had them available and also to document progress in making USB boot friendly install media.

I would however like to see a couple of i686 and earlier versions working, e.g. Debian has a history of making noncompatible media. Now there's a working x64 version, but i386 disks are still stalling during setup. Manjaro also does not have working i386 media, likely due to them being two years old and probably EOL, as current versions are shipped as x64 only.

As for my test setup: Bare metal machine with AMD FX-6300, 16GB of RAM, Radeon 380 and a 3440x1440 display, Mellanox ConnectX-3 10GbE card (some images choke on that until deciding the onboard LAN provides an usable link). Images denoted as "weird resolution" force 4:3 video in fullscreen mode which is a bit of a squeeze. Some offer only 16:9/16:10/4:3 modes in correct aspect ratio which is fine for emergency media.
