Ubuntu For Laptop Trial And Error

Through trial and error I found that my old MacBook from 2007 didnt support Ubuntu 64 bit so I found a 32 bit distribution of Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS that worked for my machine.

I tried Etcher and Unetbootin neither one made USB bootable drives that were recognized by my old MacBook.

Lucky for me I had a Superdrive DVD burner in an external USB enclosure I had removed from a Macbook Pro to replace with a SSD drive.

So I downloaded the ISO file of Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS then used Disk Utility to burn that ISO file to a blank DVD.

I first burned a 64 bit version and when I tried to boot from it I got an error asking me to Select CD-ROM Boot Type and the keyboard froze so it would not boot.

If you get that error youre probably trying to boot a 64 bit version of Ubuntu on a Mac that doesnt support it.

Everything started to make sense when I burned a 32 bit version of Ubuntu Linux Desktop 16.04.1 LTS to a DVD and booted up the MacBook with that.

Heres the process 1.) Download Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 32 bit Desktop Version ISO file from Ubuntu and save it to your downloads folder.

Put a blank DVD in your DVD burner and open it with Disk Utility when prompted.

In Disk Utility go to File Menu Open Disk Image then find the ISO file of Ubuntu you just downloaded and mount it in Disk Utility.

Click the Burn Icon in Disk Utility to burn your Ubuntu Linux install DVD.

Startup your old MacBook either by holding down the C key as you put the Ubuntu Linux DVD in its Optical drive or by holding down the OPTION key and then selecting the disc that says Windows to boot from and let it boot up in Ubuntu Linux test mode.

My ten year old MacBook now has a brand new life as an Ubuntu Linux Laptop with a current version of Firefox and Google Chrome (Chromium) for me to use.
