thanks for your speedy reply, I will post as you recommend, as for your
feedback:
"There are numerous sites that will inform you how to create the bootable
USB flash drive after you have downloaded the Ubuntu 16.04 ISO. Once it is
created you must use it to boot from on your MacBook which means that you
have to power up the MacBook with it inserted and hold down the options
button while it is booting. That should get you to the boot selection
process where you will select the bootable USB stick. I am not sure what
you were trying to do with the commands that you listed but they will not
install Ubuntu on your MacBook."
I've been trying *to create an ubuntu install disc for my older mac book
pro* (running Mavericks) and have spent many hours (make that days!)
searching online for how to do it. Yes there are numerous sites that
profess to tell you how to do it, but none of them have worked. Here are a
few of the terminal codes and the error messages that I get: I even used
Unetbootin which creates the usb but the mac won't mount it!

Charles,
You are correct in that sending an email will get it posted to the
Cochise Linux User Group mailing list, however the correct way is not to
reply to an email that someone has sent to the mailing list but to start
your own thread which can be done by addressing it directly to
cochiselinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx. That will keep all of the information on
your problem and possible solutions under the same thread and not under a
thread called "I'm harvesting credit card numbers and passwords from your
site. Here's how." That will of course make it easier for others to find
in the future who may be researching a similar problem.

I am under the impression that by sending you an email it gets posted on
your linux users group...
