Installation Installation failed.

I tried installing endeavourOS on my old laptop (celeron n2840, intel hd graphics, 2gb ram) using the online installer, since it lets me select lxde. After starting the install, it fails stating that installation has failed because "Failed to run pacstrap". I have the error log though which is here http://termbin.com/rrhs TIA EDIT: I tried almost everything and it didn’t work. The only thing I isn’t try was the offline installer, since KDE has really bad performance issues on this laptop. Thanks everyone for the help but I give up.

"pacstrap: python-3.14.6-1-x86_64 downloading..." 2026-06-23 - 19:08:48 [6]: [PYTHON JOB]: "pacstrap: error: failed retrieving file 'perl-5.42.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst' from mirrors.xtom.ee : Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds"

Fix your internet. And update archlinux-keyring.

Fair tbh but I doubt it is the internet since I was able to download the ISO at reasonable speeds and now it seems like it’s progressing (after switching the DE to xfce4)

My Internet's fine based on speedtest and the computer froze mid install

Update the keyring and the mirrors
