HenryBoot
An All-In-One bootable USB drive that works on any architecture and contains many useful tools.
Installation / Quickstart
Prequisites
- 7-zip
- A USB drive or SD/MicroSD card with a minimum of 8GB on it (for the lightest of installation weights). 32-128GB drives are HIGHLY recommended for a better experience.
Let's get started!
- Download the repo and extract it somewhere.
- Download Ventoy (can be found here) and run it.
- It will present you with a screen that looks like this:
-
Select your target USB drive, then click install.
-
Next, copy all the files in the github repo except for
LICENSE
andREADME.md
to your USB drive once you finish formatting the drive. -
For the next step, go here and wait for the image to download.
-
Once downloaded, move the image to your USB drive and rename it EXACTLY to
Lubuntu-21.10-Preloaded.iso
. -
Open the
persistence
folder. The only current supported persistence image is Lubuntu, which is why you just downloaded it. -
Next, download this file and unzip it somewhere. This part requires 7-zip to be installed.
-
Go into the folder of images you just downloaded and find
persistence_xfs_4GB_casper-rw.dat
and copy it to thepersistence
folder on your USB drive. -
Almost done!
-
Now, rename that fine EXACTLY to
lubuntu_4GB.dat
. Done! Now, go into your BIOS and boot from the drive! You should be presented with a screen like this: If you don't see a screen looking similar to that, you've done something wrong.
To add more operating systems, see below.
Tested Images
If an image is in bold, it supports persistence using the persistence_xfs_4GB_casper-rw.dat
image.
Please note: for proper menu aliases for untested images, you need to add your image to the json file in the root of the /ventoy
folder in this format:
...
"menu_alias": [
...
{
"image": "/myimage.iso",
"alias": "My Image's Alias"
},
...
]
...
OR Rename the file you download from the download links below to the name specified in the list.
