<p>I know how to use multisystem, but the computer I have now won't
boot from a usb stick. I need to make a boot cd that will tell
the system to look to the usb stick. If grub could be put on a
bootable cd, I'd need to be able to tell it to load whatever grub
setup is on the usb stick.<br>

<div>I use Multisystem at the installfest the trick is if you
create it on a uefi machine it will only boot a uefi machine
and only run Uefi iso's. if you build it on a non uefi machine
it will only be able to boot a non-uefi configured machine but
them will only install as non uefi</div>
<div>most uefi computers can be set to either but is a bit of a
pain to switch a installed image between grub and grub-efi and
adding a efi partition the redirecting efi bios to the
efi-grub.</div>
<div>most newer computers are not uniform on how they implement
UEFI so a bit of trial and error is needed. turn off secure
boot and all uefi/efi options for non uefi installs and secure
boot may need to be turned off for uefi installs.</div>
<div>to create images on usb I use dd for most iso's and ubuntu
startup disk creator 18.04 up also works for most usb media
creation.</div>
<div>to update the bios again each is a bit different. some i
can update with a fat usb drive that has the new image on it
others I have to a usb dos boot disk.</div>
<div>feel free to stop by the installfest on the 20th at UAT and
I would be happy to assist and I have all the media ready to
go to update bios and install most linux distro's<br>
