If anything I posted helped then I couldn’t be happier. After all, isn’t that what community’s all about?

They are a bit of a closed shop at Ventoy.
All we know is, in normal mode, it reads the boot info from the .iso file, then
boots directly from the mounted file.
Most .iso files contain a squashfs image, so it must find where that is and boot the image.
I would like to find how it does that… I tried once to boot a squashfs image with grub, and failed
Thanks
