I’m sure Ventoy works great with USB. However, unless it’s capable of installing/using a GRUB2 menu system and a hard drive path, it does not compare with this how-to at all.

This guide is literally about how to boot a wide variety of ISO files via GRUB2 without the use of a USB/DVD/etc.

Ventoy works even better. I have several Linux vtoys on an SSD and can boot any of them and update them or whatever. If I want to I could delete that vtoy and replace with a new pristine one.

Anyway, to boot VHD or image file from Grub?

Ventony did this, but we need to install Ventony.

In reply to balasubramanyam.

@balasubramanyam,

I didn’t work on a kickstart-based install, but I think it should work similar way to a standard Linux ISO image. I suggest you give it a try and see how it goes…

Thanks for the article. I have a similar requirement, but my ISO is a customized linux ISO with a kickstart-based install. How can I achieve this using my customized ISO?
