Not sure if this will help but I tried to install both Lubuntu 16.10 and 16.04 and both times I ran into the BusyBox issue. I am not too sure if this is a version problem...

Well I'm baffled by that because Lubuntu 16.04 and Mint 18 are both based on Ubuntu 16.04

I'd have to check if they were using a different version of GRUB, and there's always the slight chance it's that Mint are loading different modules (but I doubt it) .. so all I can think of is comparing the grub.cfg from a Mint install and a Peppermint 7 / Lubuntu 16.04 one.

Do you know how to edit the GRUB kernel boot line ?

and do you know your monitor resolution ?

Does editing the GRUB kernel boot line start with pressing "e" at the grub menu?
My monitor resolution is 1028 x 768

it does yes

At GRUB, hit "e" to edit.

Now find the line that ends with:-

quiet splash --

and make it end with

quiet splash vga=791

then hit Ctrl+X to boot.

does it boot ?

Yep. It was a live USB problem. Maybe something to do with unetbootin. When i remade the live USB with the "dd" command, the error disappeared. I am typing this from my new install of Peppermint 7!  :P ;D This thing is super fast! Feels even faster than Lubuntu! Thanks everyone for the help! Especially, PCNetSpec!  8)

Good old "dd" to the rescue  ;).  It's really reliable as long as you know what you're doing.  If you don't, it'll jump up and bite you hard  :'(. 

It’s great to know you’ve resolved your issue 8).  Thanks for marking the topic as, [SOLVED]  ;).

Terrific news .. glad you figured it out because this one had me stumped :)

Weird that it ran from the USB and only failed post installation :-\
