  • If I am suggesting the addition of a program, the program is free software and licensed under a GPL-compatible license.

Suggestion

currently the live-CD is not compatible with Ventoy tool. boot fails because x2fMASSOS.sh is looking for /dev/disk/by-label/MASSOS
In my case the volume label is "Ventoy" (blkid)

Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't really use Ventoy since I find it generally unreliable for GNU/Linux ISOs, but from what I've tested it seems to be hit and miss; sometimes it works (with MassOS), sometimes it doesn't. However I haven't been able to replicate the exact issue you described.

I can see the benefit of supporting Ventoy, but since I am not familiar with it, I wouldn't really have the knowledge of how to adapt the MassOS ISO support it. The ISO for MassOS 2022.06+ uses SYSLINUX for Legacy boot and GRUB for UEFI boot just like many other GNU/Linux ISOs, so there shouldn't be major differences causing problems.

The scripts used to make the ISO and the configuration files used can all be inspected at the livecd-installer repository. Pull requests to that repository to add/improve Ventoy support will be accepted. This feature request can stay open for now, since it needs more investigation and work.
