#BALENAETCHER DOESNT RUN WINDOWS ISO#

The constraints of booting directly from an iso file conflict with this distro development approach and also conflict with many of our other advanced features. We tried to make this a “distro development tool” for creating your own customized version of antiX or MX. Many people only run MX/antiX live using persistence and remastering to keep their changes. There is also an AppImage available if you want to run it on another Linux distro. IF you want to try our extensive live-usb features then we recommend you use the live-usb-maker tool which comes with MX and antiX Linux. You could probably do this on your own by first making an iso snapshot and then manually copying the iso snapshot file overwriting the original iso file. For example the live-remaster tool does not work with direct booting from an iso file. We support booting from iso file but we don’t recommend it because it’s not compatible with many of our extensive live-usb features. Normally we offer to save any boot parameters you used but booting directly from iso makes this either very difficult or impossible. So all you need to do is point us to a read/write partition with one of the options above and you can also specify the form of persistence you want to use (with another option) if you don’t like the default. The first time persistence is enabled we will create the persistence files for you if they don’t already exist. Plab=xxxx (the label of the persistence partition) Puuid=xxxx (the UUID of the persistence partition) Pdev=xxxx (the persistence partition name such as sdb1 or /dev/sdb1) Once you get it to boot (we have Grub experts here who may be able to help you with the grub entry if it’s not working) then you can add one of the following boot options to specify a read-write persistence partition where we can store our persistence files: We offer a “fromiso=” boot option for this but I imagine Ventoy is using grub to mount the iso file automatically. This is the old “boot from iso mode” which we support but do not recommend. With ventoy, you don’t need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it.” “Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO files. ^- one of my several previous posts on this subject so, yeah, it’s exasperating to find again today that this info needs to be repeated, reposted. Reposting here my previous antixforum post, quoting BitJam, the primary developer of the antiX Live system So, Ventoy does not bring real value to my daily antiX workflow, and remains just a toy (pun not intended) to host a couple other distro for me. BUT, an antiX booted this way does NOT have all the writable features available from a standard antiX liveUSB. The Ventoy part works as advertised, allowing dynamically choosing any ISO from USB drive, including an antiX iso. Recommending them (other than for exceptional cases, e.g. Ventoy and balenaEtcher and mintStick and Plop and ohMyMultiboot and CapserAintYerFriend…
