Re: Can I install from Stretch or Buster Mate Live System?

As Steve suggested there are options to install directly from the boot menu.
When you get to the boot menu you will see what is there.

Before this can be answered properly what "live" system are you using? Are you using the official system based on live-wrapper or are you using the, now unofficial, system based on live-build?

Live Build had an option in the menu of the running live system, I am not sure about live-wrapper though.

Debian Installer, or d-i, is a script that answers questions or prompts the person to answer questions so the system can be installed.

Not on first start but if you set it up to run at start after that it should work. In live-build you could probably get it to run on first boot, I don't know about live-wrapper.

There are options to install directly from the boot menu on those live
images.
