Just quickly read through it and it seemed fine: regarding the lengthy
delay, I think you just missed an option in the installer (I've not used
CrunchBang personally, so for all I know it's not actually there) if
it's anything like it's parent distro Debian. Because you asked it to
encrypt the disk, Debian by default secure wipes the system first - this
accounted for the 3.5 hour wait. You can either tell the installer to
skip the secure wipe stage, or cancel it as as soon as it starts.
Problem solved.

Cheers
