Can I run Porteus iso and save changes threw Ventoy? And later can I add more iso to Ventoy?
I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

The porteus.cfg did you create it? And what it look like?

saving your changes after reboot.

So you download the ISO, extract the folders, tweak the files and modules to fit your needs then rebuild the ISO so Ventoy will boot it? What does your Ventoy boot menu code look like? Can you post it? Can you add Porteus cheatcodes to the Ventoy boot menu?

Аccording to this information:
viewtopic.php?f=59&t=9865
Porteus should work by creating "ventoy.json", but I tried withowt succes.
Тhat is the reason to modify ISO with ISO Master (archive managers breacks isos)

It is actually ventoy.json and is recommended (according to the developer) to use VentoyPlugson for editing:

Тhe main reason to use Ventoy is secure boot.
I used this method:
[Solved] Security Boot Fail (Post by Ed_P #67428) (with thanks to Ed_P and others in topic)
but one day after some updates on Win 10 PC it stopped working, so ventoy came to replace it:

Interesting. So Ventoy is not a grub2 interface. Thank you AcnapyxoB.AcnapyxoB wrote: ↑12 Feb 2024, 18:11It is actually ventoy.json and is recommended (according to the developer) to use VentoyPlugson for editing:Ed_P wrote: ↑February 12th, 2024, 12:15 pm wrote: Ventoy boot menu?
