When I install an operating system, I prefer an easy install, with few if any problems. I realize that this distro is in early stages of release so they are finding problems.

Was there any problem in my answer? No, your answer was perfectly fine, I've up voted it, I can only accept one as the answer though. It's not your answer which was horrible it was the crunchbag, unetbootin, etc that i dislike.
