Hi @Jayro I see that I can add a Windows installation to the OSimages folder, wonderful, am I able to add a few Linux Isos to this folder as well. Basically I want to have the option to boot either Kali, Mint and Windows

oh hey, MediCat was on LTT:



always fun to see things in the wild

And thanks to the shear amount of traffic bought by LTT, the site started malfunctioning. At least Jayro fixed it all up now. :)

Matt actually fixed it, as he handles the hosting bit.

What happened to the documentation that used to be on medicatusb site but is no longer as of last week.
WaybackMachine shows how it used to be there: *I can't post the link*

Hi guys ! I discovered this tool not long ago and want to put it on a 256Gb flash drive.
It works fine but once i create new partitions on the flash drive, medicat won't boot, instead i have a grub console, is there a way to have more than 1 partition on a medicat drive ?
Thanks :)

@Jayro and team, is there any way that I can obtain a copy of legacy Medicat v18.04? I have the new version but I used v18.04 daily since I started as a PC tech years ago and my dog destroyed the flash drive this past weekend. I built several things to work with that version and I've tried everything under the sun to find the iso for it but have had no luck. All of the past links are dead and the torrents are no longer seeded. I'd hate to have to start from scratch. The web archives failed me too :(

Thanks,

Hadez

Cause i'm a tech and i want to carry just one USB stick. I also want things organized, so 1 partition for medicat, 1 partitions for all my tools and 1 partition for random storage.

So, is there a way to have more than one partition on a medicat drive ?

I believe the old torrents can be found on TPB

Yes, I believe you just have to experiment with the partitioning settings in Ventoy upon creation, to repartition the drive as you like.

While trying to not name the site, when you get there, this is what you search for, and what you'll find.

These are my official torrents for the last 2 old .iso versions.

You can use the partition configuration on ventoy setup.

And then you con copy manually the MediCat files.

    I'm doing good, just made my first drink of the day, so better now, Captain and Coke today. I had to cut grass all day, then get my hair cut. I messed with my wifey, she knew I was going to get hair cut, and I went and bought a purple dyed wig, and came home wearing it, she freaked out, thinking I dyed my hair purple, was funny.

    Damn, I haven't been on here in while. My wife and I went on a mushroom trip like 10 years ago. A friend had a PS3TV with the glasses and some racing game. It hit when I was playing the game and I freaked out because I thought I was really driving and crashed.
