I just tried downloading and installing the Basic 1.6 GB version of Endless to a 8 GB USB flash drive. The drive is new, especially purchased for this purpose. I tried several times in different ports to run the installer, but each time it failed with an error at about 6%. After it failed, the drive was unusable and could not longer be correctly formatted. The first partition would format to about 60 MB, but the rest of the drive could not be seen or restored by the OS. To check if the drive was faulty, I had to use low-level partitioning software to remove everything Endless had placed on it. Once I did that, I was able to format the drive normally. As a test, I tried copying several hundred megabytes of random data to the drive and that worked fine, so the drive is not faulty. After that test I tried installing Endless one more time and got the same error. There is clearly something wrong with this software.
