Yeah, liveusb-creator is pretty nice and I agree it should probably be the default download, although I guess we want instructions for Windows/Mac users too. I assume there are freeware tools out there for Windows/Mac we can point people too? Also when I tried using the liveusb-creator I did discover that it fails horribly if the filesystem on the USB stick is not vfat. So I will look assigning someone to work on it to somehow deal with that case, either through offering to replace the existing filesystem or at least failing gracefully.

It doesn't feel that way to me -- to get to a USB stick, I download an ISO which could be burned directly to a DVD, and then I have to go get liveusb-creator, and run that. liveusb-creator is reasonably slick, but it makes USB media feel like a secondary concern.
Since liveusb-creator can do the media download itself, maybe we should make _that_ the primary download?
