They fail to set a root password or to set up the primary user account with sudo access, at least in some cases. Users in Freenode #debian are constantly having to be told how to boot from rescue media to set the root password. WHY DO PEOPLE ATTEMPT TO INSTALL DEBIAN USING A LIVE CD IMAGEwww.debian.org -> "CD/USB ISO images", then choose the only possibly viable alternative to CD/DVD, since there's no CD/DVD on the new host.
Did you read the two yellow boxes at the top of that page? 1. If you simply want to install Debian and have an Internet connection on the target computer please consider the Network Install media which is a smaller download. 2. On i386 and amd64 architectures, all CD/DVD images can be used on a USB stick too. I can see your logic, but the webpage IS telling you that "Even if you're trying to install from USB, these are the images you REALLY want." -- For more information, please reread.
