Is installation on the hard drives of these computers not possible? Just  
wondering because if it is, I would imagine the installed systems would be  
separate and what bootloader each uses (or what software of any kind for that  
matter) shouldn't come into play.

I have both a UEFI laptop and a BIOS desktop. But now that you mention it,  
last night I was able to discover that if you disable secure boot, you can go  
right into BIOS boot just fine. So that is no longer a concern for me.

What's the reason for your need to switch between BIOS and UEFI, out of  
curiosity?

The startup disk creator doesn't have persistence enabled anymore. The last  
one to use persistence was on Belenos. I will try Unetbootin though.

Tt's because so I can boot into both BIOS and UEFI. Installs don't do that,  
live systems do.

Use the Startup Disk Creator in Trisquel, or use UNetbootin.

What's your reason for using a live system instead of installing?

Also as a follow-up to this post, how do I make it persistent by default, at  
least by myself?

Okay, so I'm currently running the Raspberry Pi Desktop for Debian on my  
external hard disk, but that is only because by default the ISO file, when  
dd'd to the drive, enables persistence to the rest of the drive's  
partitioning, and there's a menu option (as shown in the screenshot) for  
persistent changes, persistence reset and no persistence.


Why doesn't Trisquel have that? Can this be a feature implemented in 9.0?
