UNetbootin has built-in support for automatically downloading and loading the following distributions, though installing other distributions is also supported: If you used the "Hard Disk" install mode: After rebooting, select the UNetbootin entry from the Windows Boot Menu. On PCs, this usually involves pressing a button such as Esc or F12 immediately after you turn on your computer, while on Macs, you should hold the Option key before OSX boots. If you used the "USB Drive" install mode: After rebooting, boot from the USB drive. If your USB drive doesn't show up, reformat it as FAT32. Select an ISO file or a distribution to download, select a target drive (USB Drive or Hard Disk), then reboot once done. It loads distributions either by downloading a ISO (CD image) files for you, or by using an ISO file you've already downloaded. UNetbootin can create a bootable Live USB drive You can either let UNetbootin download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux. On your computer, the location could be /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc or something similar.UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu and other Linux distributions without burning a CD. The latter shows that my USB drive is mounted at /dev/sda.
You can find it by issuing the mount command on the command line or with the GNOME Disks command, which provides a graphical interface. You need to determine your USB drive's correct mount point for this script to work properly. Change directory into the Ventoy folder, and look for a shell script named Ventoy2Disk.sh. Insert your USB drive into your computer. After the download and extraction are complete, you are ready to install Ventoy to your USB drive. You can also use your Linux distribution's archive manager to accomplish the same task. This command extracts all the necessary files into a folder named ventoy-x.y.z on my desktop. Next, extract the ventoy-x.y. archive (but replace x.y.z with your download's version number) using the tar command (to keep things simple, I use the * character as an infinite wildcard in the command): $ tar -xvf ventoy*z I downloaded the archive file to my desktop.
Yet, it's easier than it might seem.įirst, download Ventoy. The Linux installation happens from the command line, so it can be a little confusing if you're not familiar with that process. There is excellent documentation to download and install Ventoy on Microsoft Windows. Ventoy is open source with a GPL v3 license and available for Windows and Linux. On a 16GB drive, I placed Elementary 5.1, Linux Mint Cinnamon 5.1, and Linux Mint XFCE 5.1… and still have 9.9GB free. As you might expect, a USB drive's size will determine how many distributions you can fit onto it.
