How do I get my Mac to boot from an Ubuntu USB key?

EFI boot Ubuntu 14.04 on a Mac without rEFInd
1 answer
I have an old iMac 2006 core2 duo, and would like to install Ubuntu as single boot.
As my iMac's DVD drive is not working (don't know why, as it is almost unused), I would be using another newer iMac to do it.
My question is, how? The guides I've found either use a USB drive or a DVD to install on the same machine.
I appreciate any help.

The above link is for an EFI install of Ubuntu. If you use an EFI boot method, then you could only install a 32 bit version of Ubuntu. Since you have 64 bit processors, I assume a 64 bit version of Ubuntu is desired. Is this correct? Does the iMac current have a working version of OS X installed? When you say you will be using a "newer iMac to do it", does this mean you intend to use Target disk mode where you connect the two Macs together with a Firewire cable? Or, use the newer Mac some other way? Does the newer iMac have a working DVD drive? What is the model year of the newer iMac?
