Hi Toby, have you got any experience with these machines?  If so, can
you give Robin a hand with the preparation for the install?  To us it's
probably an easy task, but everyone's at different levels, and Robin
could do with all the help he can get right now.

It might also help if you could run him through the process of using
nautilus to burn the disk image if he might find this simpler (a PDF is
quick and easy to knock out - once, that is, it's established that he
can actually burn a disk on the machine running Ubuntu - otherwise, it
might be an idea to get someone who knows the Mac's burning software he
might have).
