Jun 24, 2019 The first task in installing and configuring Ubuntu on your Mac is to create a live bootable USB flash drive that contains the Ubuntu Desktop OS. Use this flash drive to not only install Ubuntu but also to confirm that Ubuntu can run on your Mac. You should be able to boot Ubuntu directly from the USB stick without having to perform an install. Install rEFIt. Create a bootable start disk using Ubuntu and a USB stick. Create a separate partition on the Airs HD. Dd the whole USB stick to that partition. Resync with rEFIt. Turn power off and on. Select Pingo/Windows logo: Install should start. (Here you might want to press F6 to change parameters, e.g. Use nomodeset).

The page is hard to find but Ubuntu has versions specially for MACs. I have included the link, the second one down is listed as
Mac (PowerPC) and IBM-PPC (POWER5) desktop CD Autoit script.
For Apple Macintosh G3, G4, and G5 computers, including iBooks and PowerBooks as well as IBM OpenPower machines.
There are others listed just for MACs. I honestly have no personal experience with these so I don't know if they will work, I was just able to dig into Ubuntu's website deep enough to find the link for you. Hope it helps
Note: As I don't know your location I gave you the United States mirrors in the above link I also included 12.04 as it is the newest, let me know it you want another..
