If you are actually using 4.5.0, there is an update to 4.5.1 on the website. If you just downloaded it its probably 4.5.1. Normally, we are told to only use sudo parrot-upgrade. But in this instance, what has worked best for me has been:

As soon as you boot up from install.

Thank you for your reply. What is the differene between parrot-upgrade and dist-upgrade?
actually i used the dist-upgrade but sadly it hangs again on 75%

So you are updating not installing right?

The difference is absolutely nothing except the wording used. Its intended to not only “match” a lot better but also cut down on people having to
A) run apt update and dist upgrade because parrot upgrade is all in one.
And
B) reduce confusion and the usage apt upgrade fatal command which breaks parrot systems because its a rolling distro and thats not supposed to be used and can cause all kinds of weird things and bad birds.

How did this turn out? Fix your error?

Not yet sir. Im trying it again as of the moment but when i tried to install it thru virtual box everything is smooth? Is there something to do with my hardware?

Well Yes , but no :joy:

Exactly not able to tell that its hardware error || possible packages which going to download at 75% have misconfiguration with your system || possible broken dependencies
