How to do dual boot install of Ubuntu on Mac

[madanabhat27 at gmail.com]

Thanx mark but I don't feel comfortable with virtualBox and prefer to dual boot with Mac OS X (10.5 leopard) so it would be very nice if any one could guide me through the dual boot procedure 
Yours,
KMB

And windows laptops are JUST PLAIN UNSAFE, so I have only one option and that is a Mac)

I have been running 9.04 inside VirtualBox on a MBP since the April 
release. If you don't want to go to the hassle of setting up a dual-boot 
machine, you might consider a virtual machine.

I leave VB up and running in one space (virtual desktop) and can 
seamlessly move between the two operating systems.
