![]() Reboot, and you should have a persistent Bodhi Linux 7.0.0-64 bit USB drive.Ventoy is a free and open source software to create bootable USB drives in Linux and Windows environment. The last step is to put the generated bodh-6.0.0-64.dat, bodhi-6.0.0-64.iso, and ventoy.json files in the relevant folders as shown. Copy and paste the following into Leafpad (or your favorite text editor) and save it as ventoy.json. Create a Json FileĪnother file is required for persistence to work. dat file generated will be called persistence.dat rename it bodhi-6.0.0-64.dat. This should return something like the following:Īdditionally it should have generated a persistence.dat file in your working directory. Simply run the script by doing: sudo sh CreatePersistentImage.sh Default persistence.dat files are created with size=1GB fs=ext4 label=casper-rw. dat file can be set using flags, however for our purposes, the default setup will be fine. dat file that is a filesystem that will hold your persistent data. In the Ventoy folder (created when the tar.gz file was decompressed) is a file called CreatePeristentImage.sh. Note: Linux is case sensitive – note upper and lower case letters mkdir /media/Ventoy/ISO persistence ventoy Create three folders named ISO, persistence, and ventoy. Now that we have Ventoy successfully installed on the USB drive, next we need to create a file structure on it. After the installer runs, you should be greeted with a success message, below. You will be prompted once more to confirm – type y then press enter. sudo sh ventoy-1.0.51/Ventoy2Disk.sh -i /dev/sdb Additionally, this must be run as sudo – the password for this is your Bodhi Linux logon password. Note: we only need the letters sdb – any numbers that follow should be omitted from the path. Run the Ventoy2Disk.sh script and point it to the USB drive using the path we found by using the df command in the previous step. Here we see it is mounted on media and is called Ventoy. The highlighted line shows the path to the USB drive: /dev/sdb1. In order to do this, we need to find the path to the USB drive by using the df command with the -h flag so that it is readable. Next we will install Ventoy on a USB drive using the Ventoy2Disk.sh script. The newly created ventoy-1.0.51 contains the following files and folders: To clarify, your working directory should now contain the tar.gz file we downloaded and a folder with the contents of the compressed file as below. This will output a list of all the files and folders from the compressed tar.gz file,Īnd create a folder in your working directory called ventoy-1.0.51. This is a compressed file that will need to be uncompressed for us to access its contents. You should see something like this if the download was a success. Note: the version number is/was correct at the time of writing, however this has most likely changed by now, so double check on the downloads page To download Ventoy, you can either navigate to the project’s Github download page using your preferred browser, or use the command line. mkdir ventoyĬhange to the working directory we called ventoy. Make a directory in your home folder called ventoy. We will primarily use the command line, but feel free to use a graphical file manager if you prefer ( Thunar/ PCManFM/etc.). This will assist in keeping everything tidy, less confusing, and will ensure that all the files we need to create and use are all located in one place. ![]() We suggest making it a habit to create a new working directory for Ventoy. The second part will cover creating a persistent USB drive with Bodhi Linux on it. The first part of this tutorial will cover downloading and installing Ventoy, and creating a live USB drive with Bodhi Linux. Further still, it has the ability to create a live USB drive with more than one distro on it. However, Ventoy is highly user configurable and allows a great deal of user control. The basics are simple and the defaults will generally get you started. Not only can it create a live USB drive, but it can also create a persistent USB drive to use as plug-and-go Operating System that allows saving files and configurations. While Linux has the ‘ dd’ function (a simple way to create a standard bootable/live USB), Ventoy takes this to the next level. Ventoy is a powerful tool for creating a bootable “live” Linux session on a USB drive. Creating a Persistent Bodhi Linux USB Drive using Ventoy ![]()
