Hi Liam,

EDIT: It occurs to me that they might not work on UEFI PCs unless you 
create a UEFI system partition and appropriate boot files. I don't have 
a UEFI PC to experiment with. I'd welcome comments on this.

You can make portable installed systems (useful with USB pendrives) 
according to the following link,

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UEFI-and-BIOS

but they are limited to 64-bit systems.

You can make a persistent live drive with a 32-bit system that boots in 
BIOS mode but also in UEFI mode according to the following link,

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb/persistent
