I've tried, and it doesn't look like it can be done this way. There's no
hint about the creation of an EFI System Partition at all. And without it,
without UEFI, on my old laptop, it doesn't work as well...

It looks like my old hardware (the laptop) isn't supported at all. Or is it
just the installation on an USB stick?

I'll try it on my desktop PC next, which is relatively recent.
