geiman Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 There are many many ways to tackle this issue, this is the abridged version of how I usually do it. Use disk utility to shrink your OS X partition and create two new partitions; a larger one for Ubuntu, and another that is roughly 2.5 times the size of your ram for a swap space. Then, boot into your Ubuntu disc and install onto your new partition, and either install grub onto your ubuntu partition, or do not install it at all. Then, boot back into your OS X install and install chameleon RC 2; it should automatically recognize your Linux partition and add it to your boot loader.
