Hi Ade,
I haven’t used the LXDE ISO to install Parabola before, so I only give
you advices from what I could deduce from your message.

Perhaps you could retry without this additionnal step. It’s a good idea
to go with the defaults when fixing an issue.

WKD is a method to retrieve OpenPGP keys from the domain name of an
email address. So, based on this error, it could be either a problem
with the Internet connection during the installation or a DNS error
because name resolution can’t be carried out.

Again, same as my previous answer above.

Probably just the consequence of the previous errors. If you could fix
the ones above, this should be cleared.

So, first, try to go with the default DNS settings of the ISO.
Then, try to check that the Internet connection works (if you can open a
terminal in the LXDE ISO):
# ping -c 3 www.gnu.org
Different approaches could be taken depending on the output of this
command.

No worries, these things are never easy.
Welcome aboard!
