I don't know the use you have in mind; however, when I did service I just made a live USB, shrunk and created a data partition JIC I needed storage. Set the bios priority to USB when needed, etc etc. Granted, this was a basic OS but usually had the tools I needed and did repo install as needed.
Using other distro for job specific ofc helped, such as SystemRescueCD, for more aggressive rescue ops... -- Fred On Thu, Sep 6, 2018, 08:12 Chris Murphy <li...@colorremedies.com> wrote: > > > On Thu, Sep 6, 2018, 4:17 AM Tom Horsley <horsley1...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Wed, 5 Sep 2018 22:26:19 -0600 >> Chris Murphy wrote: >> >> > That's up to the grub.cfg contents. >> >> It never gets that far.

And you won't be able to Secure Boot because the bootloader won't be signed. livecd-tools still has livecd-iso-to-disk script that can create a USB stick that's UEFI and BIOS bootable. https://github.com/livecd-tools/livecd-tools/blob/master/tools/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh The optional persistent overlay will eventually blow up and will have to be reset. Avoiding that means doing a real install to the USB stick.
