I have a 32GB USB "thumbdrive", on which, I have had up to 10 different 
operating systems  - various Linux distributions and versions, GhostBSD 
and MidnightBSD, and the MS Windows 10 iso .

Once the drive is configured with Ventoy, it is a simple matter of 
copying a downloaded bootable iso file to the drive, then, using the 
Ventoy drive to boot.

This looks really nice.

I agree. And apparently it's already in AUR, nix and SliTaz repos:

https://repology.org/project/ventoy/versions

It would be nice to know if it's a viable candidate for Debian repos. :)

Kind regards!

I wish it was less of a test of my patience! Every time I copy an iso to 
Ventoy the result is the  *contents * of the iso. It would be a very 
useful tool if it did what it says on the box :-)

I don't think so. I've just downloaded it here

https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases/tag/v1.0.91

without being asked for any information. The author *asks* for
contributions, like many do, but there's no compulsion.

You have to go downwards in the page to the Assets section, there
you have the download links.
By the way, this would be it, I guess:

https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases/download/v1.0.91/ventoy-1.0.91-linux.tar.gz

> or it is blocked here??

Maybe, but I don't think so. This is the official general page:

https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases

It's just GitHub, so, it should work as with any other project.

Best regards!

You might want to check your browser version and javascript settings.
Those can easily block certain things.
