[04:40] US-PA-User761: Your Mac has a CD-Drive? [04:41] Also, from what OS are you trying to create the USB? [05:35] Yes. Well, an external cd drive. I replaced the original and then that one pooped. So I use an external cd drive. Mavericks 10.9.5 [05:41] US-PA-User761: Well, would you prefer a CD or a USB stick? [05:44] US-PA-User761: Think you could handle these? http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-create-a-bootable-ubuntu-usb-drive-for-mac-in-os-x--cms-21253 [06:15] yeah i followed those to the T previously and to no avail.

It's been ages since I've used Ubuntu but.. Still think it's a low-level entry point for a lot of people to Linux, so I think it's important to make sure it's accessible [20:53] and out of all the times /I/ got help here...
