Installed [reEFIt 0.12].

Reboot computer while holding down the option key (alt key). I had to do this twice. The first time it showed the Mac HD. I selected that then rebooted and after that it came back with the rEFIt menu.

Reboot with Ubuntu 8.10 live CD. The boot option screen might show the disk as "Windows". Apple bastards...

You will probably see a partition "/dev/sda1" that says "fat32" type. It may also say "EFI GPT". You want to leave that partition!

Delete the "hfs+" partition.

Create a partition with a size of 150 GB (150000 MB); set use as "ext3"; and set Mount point as "/".

Create a partition with a size of 4 GB (4000 MB) and set use as "swap area",

Create a partition with the remaining space and set use as "do not use the partition".

The system will start to install.
