I downlosded the latest version of the iso from the Rescuezilla website. Installed balena-etcher rpm for my Almalinux 8.10 OS and tried to burn it to an 8 Gb usb stick. balena-etcher opened up but spit out a string of gtk errors and couldn't get past opening the iso file. i rebooted my machine into windows 10 and successfully burned the iso to the stick with rufus, although rufus noted that it would try to correct some grub version mismatch it detected in the iso file. Upon trying to reboot from the usb drive, my computer said, "loading grub", then "welcome to grub" and then nothing else. No linux boot messages, no grub menu, just "welcome to grub". I also tried the old school dd command to copy the iso to the usb stick, but upon trying to boot from that, all i got was a very brief error saying something about ide floppy error and then my normal OS boot. My machine is an old BIOS, not UEFI. Does rescuezilla require a UEFI BIOS machine?
