Public bug reported:
It is likely a problem with the Partition Type (MSDOS) rather than GPT (for use with EUFI). I am retrying the Install of Ubuntu Studio 16.10, from a LiveUSB drive, and using a hardwired Internet connection, after having wiped the Macbook's Hard Drive and created a new mapping w/ GPT. Ultimately I shall try to create a dual boot situation with MacOS and Ubuntu Studio.
