Updated to Ubuntu 8.10
First, you should have the Mac OSX in the computer. Coz I have a ipod touch, so I still need the Mac. My successful method for dual boot is:
1. Install the rEFIt Boot Menu from (http://refit.sf.net). After installing it, when you reboot your system, you should see a different grub menu.
2. Use BootCamp to partition the drive (if using Tiger, don't bother burning a Windows boot CD; if using Leopard, it won't ask you). Make some space for the root partition as well as the swap.
3. Restart the computer with Ubuntu Desktop CD inserted (64-bit or 32-bit version). rEFIT should recognize the CD and give you option to "boot Linux from CD". Scroll to this option using the down arrow or click on it with your mouse.
4. Boot Into the live CD, Click on 'Install' icon on the desktop. Select the appropriate language, select 'Keyboard Layout' as 'Macintosh', select 'Manual' partitioning, then 'Forward'...
5. After installation, reboot and you will see rEFIt. But this time the Linux might not be there. Just move the selection and select the rEFIt tools or something, it will ask you if you want to repair the partition table. Repair it, then everything works fine.
In Ubuntu 8.10, the graphic card, the iSight web cam, the wireless network, the bluetooth, and even the multi-touch thouch pad etc. all woks out of the box now, so there will not be any delay for you to enjoy the incredible Intrepid Ibex :-)
