+On every new box:
+1. Plug in the USB — it opens in the file manager
+2. Navigate into the `ubuntu-post-install-main` folder
+3. **Either:**
+   - Right-click inside the folder → **Open in Terminal** → type `bash bootstrap.sh`
+   - **Or** double-click `bootstrap.sh` → if prompted, choose **Run in Terminal**
 
-> **Finding your drive name:** Ubuntu mounts USB drives at `/media/USERNAME/DRIVENAME`.
-> Run `ls /media/$(whoami)/` right after plugging in to see it.
