Thanks for info, especially on the same platform. So much info blurb on macintosh that changes year after year it seems.

I think i tried something like that. IIRC, the installer with Ubstudio would not allow it to be installed to, in this case. sda4.  Partitions are;

|| - FAT32 efi (Like 250mb~ sda1)- || - HFS+ (160gb~sda2) - || - swap (2g sda3) - || -EXT4 (150gb~sda4) - || of 320gb drive (sda) and booted from the live USB boot. Not sure now if I tried from the boot screen to install before trying. Hmm

Not sure if extra info reveals something simple Im missing. Continuing to look...

thnks!!

I just installed Lubuntu 14.04.1 (32 bit) on a MacBook1,1 without any
problems. I had it install grub2 on the linux partition
(e.g. /dev/sda3, not /dev/sda!) and rEFInd picked it up the very next
boot. Unless Ubuntu studio's kernel is built with the EFI stub loader
(in which case you can copy it to the EFI partition and tell rEFInd to
boot it directly), you're going to have to get that boot loader
installed before rEFIt or rEFInd will see your linux install. Good luck!
