[urgent] Please I Need A Linux Distro In Portharcourt by PalmseedGadgets(f): 2:41pm On Jun 24, 2022
Please I need help with a Linux distro: willing to collect it on my USB stick.
Preferrably Ubuntu.

I'd be glad if I can get help with this.
I've been trying to download for the past week now to no avail, and my DVD drive isn't working.

Anyone with the package, let's connect please.

Location might be an issue. Let me try and help.

The file size for ubuntu 22.04 requires a minimum of 4gb flash drive.

First, ensure your flash drive is genuine. Many flash drives in Nigeria are fake with fake capacities.

Secondly, you download the file onto your system and make a bootable disk using tools like balenerEtcher.

The download size is around 3.7gb.

If you give me more details, i could assist further.

First, it is a dual boot installation or clean?

System specs?

Your procedure?

Points of failure etc

Thank you.

I'm using an Asus 8GB/500GB HDD system.
I'd be using my 8GB flash drive as a bootable disk. I'd boot directly from the drive.
I also have a VM on my Windows incase the installation process doesn't go as expected.

I just need the OS. I've been trying to download it, but my Wi-Fi is kinda slower. The download takes longer, and never gets completed before it fails.
I've tried downloading through the CLI, but I'm getting the same issues.

I opted for ParrotSec yesterday due to its smaller size, since I didn't get any reply, but its still not downloading.

I'd appreciate if you can help me with it.

I am not in port harcourt.

I think your main issues is your internet then.

Even if you get an installation media, running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade immediately after installing plus your third party drivers alone and necessary installs would need more than 2gb of extra data.

I would advise you get a stable internet.

Unfortunately, i am not in PH as I would have done it for you.
