    How do I boot from USB on a Mac? Mac OS X crashed on that PC and I want to make the owner switch to Ubuntu.

      It's worth noting that for whatever reason, Apple has decided to be insane and not allow booting from USB in the vast majority of cases. Essentially the drive needs to have OS X installed on it, which is just silly.
