README: document USB prep via GitHub ZIP download

Browse Source 
The previous USB instructions assumed git was available. Added step-by-step
for the no-git path: GitHub ZIP download → unzip → copy to USB → run
bootstrap.sh. Includes the Ubuntu auto-mount path tip for finding the
drive name. Folder name note (ubuntu-post-install-main from ZIP) added.

**Private repo — USB thumb drive (recommended):**
```bash
# Once, on any connected machine:
git clone https://github.com/outis1one/ubuntu-post-install.git
cp -r ubuntu-post-install /media/user/DRIVE/
**USB thumb drive — works for public or private repos:**
# On every new box — plug in USB, run:
sudo bash /media/$(whoami)/DRIVE/ubuntu-post-install/bootstrap.sh
Prepare the USB once on any machine (no git required):
1. Go to the repo on GitHub → green **Code** button → **Download ZIP**
2. Unzip it — you'll get a folder called `ubuntu-post-install-main`
3. Copy that folder to your USB drive
On every new box — plug in USB, open a terminal, run:
```bash
sudo bash /media/$(whoami)/DRIVENAME/ubuntu-post-install-main/bootstrap.sh
```
No auth, no internet needed for the scripts. The bootstrap detects it is
running from the repo and copies it to `~/ubuntu-post-install` before
launching the wizard, so the USB can be unplugged once setup starts.
`bootstrap.sh` detects it is running from inside the repo, copies everything
to `~/ubuntu-post-install`, then launches the wizard — so the USB can be
unplugged once setup starts. No auth, no internet needed for the scripts
themselves (services still pull packages and Docker images over the network).
> **Finding your drive name:** Ubuntu mounts USB drives at `/media/USERNAME/DRIVENAME`.
> Run `ls /media/$(whoami)/` right after plugging in to see it.
**Private repo — PAT (alternative):**
```bash
