  Booting multiple ISO images from USB pendrive using Ventoy Came across Andy's ( KB1OIQ ) HAM Linux live image  and wanted to check it out. Raspberry Pi 4 B is my main shack PC. Andy's HAM Linux is not designed to run on Raspberry Pi.  Have one old PC powered by AMD chip. This is one of the lines KNOPPIX live CD spewed out while booting. knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ dmesg | grep AMD [    9.579506] powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Sempron(tm) 145 Processor (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00) The AMD PC is multi-boot and runs Linux Mint 18.2, Puppy Slacko 6.3.2 frugal installation and Debian Linux Buster. Hard disk has some unused partitions. Different kinds of Linux are installed on these to find out how they run on old hardware.  CD and DVD drives on this old PC are no longer working reliably.   Booting from USB drive (pendrive) is a better option now. Googled and found  Ventoy that can boot more than one ISO image from USB pendrive   Booted AMD PC with Andy's  live image and Ventoy . How
