Thank you Plop, but nowadays we have a profusion of blessings, including VenToy, iVenToy, and netboot.xyz.

- Gormo 2y agoAren't all of those just prebuilt images that use Syslinux? Plop is itself an actual boot manager.
- lproven 2y agoWell, yes, but while Ventoy is great and I am a big fan, it has a totally different use case. In principle they could work great together, which demonstrates the almost total lack of overlap. Ventoy is for making multiboot USB keys. Plop is for making PCs boot from USB even if their firmware can't. So, you could use Plop on a floppy or CDR to make a PC start Ventoy, and then use Ventoy to choose which old-style x86/32-BIOS distro to install.
