What GUI?
Every GUI that existed in 2.5 should exist in 2.9 and much more....
If you want to have stuff saved to USB, google "debian 12 persistence usb"

hi
may be my termanoligy is incorrect the man that set up my cnc said
"You can update linuxcnc and then use linuxcnc axis gui as my gui on those machines are for older python and newer lcnc uses newer python. I have upgraded my gui and can send you if you want. Maybe upgrade to lcnc 2.9.2"
so i just want my dimenions and soft stops in the new version

If i understand this correctly, you need the configuration folder, not the GUI, so that is usually in the /home/user_name/emc2/configs for 2.5 version, just save that to a usb.
Then you can start that config by right clicking on the .ini file and choosing 'open with' then typing 'linuxcnc' and OK.

That has to be done after the installation.
Or use 2 USB sticks, one with LinuxCNC ISO and one with the config folder, but this is for testing only, to make sure you saved the correct configuration.
