How to Use Boot Camp to Install Linux

Download and install rEFIt (see Resources). This is a tool required to allow booting into other partitions, such as the Linux partition, not traditionally supported by Boot Camp.
Click 'Applications' 'Utilities' and then 'Boot Camp Assistant.'
Drag the slider to determine how much hard drive space you want to give your new 'Windows XP' partition. Click 'Partition' to continue.
Insert your Linux distribution installation CD when your partition has been created. Click 'Restart Mac OS X.'
Hold down Alt (option key) on your keyboard as your Mac is booting up.
Click the CD icon that says 'Windows.'
Follow the on screen Linux installation instructions to install the operating system.
Click the 'fat32' partition when the partition manager appears. Delete the fat32 partition.
Create two partitions, one around 600MB in size, the other with the rest of the full space. Name the smaller partition 'swap' and the other formatted as 'ext3' with 'root' or '/' assigned to it. Complete the installation then eject the Linux disc.
Hold Alt on your keyboard as your system is booting up. Click 'Windows' to boot into Linux.
