@vito, after some investigation it appears that Ventoy is currently failing for some users regardless of the operating system they are attempting to boot/install/live-run/etc
the version we have been experimenting with is:
(sha1 checksum 30bdd6023d81ea09ec5b19f5924ec92c56f96538 ventoy-1.0.99-linux.tar.gz)
so it isn't TinyCoreLinux failing...it is Ventoy. hopefully the Ventoy folks will get it sorted out presently.
(tried tcl-15.x, tcl-14.x, tcl-13.x, and tcl-12.x and ventoy brought them all up without a gui...so failure)
