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.
