If you have an external cd/dvd drive. You should be able to go into the BIOS setup (I think you press the F2 during bootup) and tell it to boot from external device. Download and burn ubuntu or whatever ISO file you want to cd/dvd disc using your Mac. Do not copy the ISO file to cd/dvd disc but create Image.
Boot the newly burned cd/dvd disc and it should start the installation process.
