The quickstart hard-codes a ubuntu-24.04.1 ISO URL that 404s once
Canonical promotes a new point release. Point at the stable
https://releases.ubuntu.com/noble/ directory listing instead and hoist
the filename into a $ISO shell variable so the curl line and the
rewrite invocation track each other when the reader updates it.
