"Requirements
Empty CD (RW’s are recommended).
MacBook Pro 13″ 7,1.
Ubuntu 10.10 ISO.

On Mac OS X
Installing a working Ubuntu is a big adventure, but if you’re a technician, and you’ve been working with Ubuntu before (like me), there shouldn’t be a big deal.
Download and install rEFIt.
Next, open up your Applications folder, go to System Tools (I have a Dutch Mac OS X installation), and click Disk Utilities.
Click on your MacBook Pro HDD/SSD, and create 1 new FAT32 partition, call it whatever you want (you’ll lose this label anyway).
Why 1 partition? Because we’ll make more in Linux.
Don’t forget to burn your Ubuntu Live CD, while being in the Disk Utilities.
Put in your burned CD.
Don’t reboot, use shutdown instead, as rEFIt won’t show up otherwise.

On Linux
Well, not yet on Linux.
Anyway, the first thing you’ll note after booting up your MacBook Pro, is the rEFIt screen (if you don’t see it, try again later).
Soon enough, a penguin (Tux) will show up on this screen, with a CD, go to it, using the keyboard arrows and press Enter.
If he doesn’t show up, put in the CD, choose Tux, he’s so cute! (^___^)
Select your language (not that it would make any difference, but at least, it’s better than nothing).
You’ll note some “errors”, ignore them, Ubuntu will boot up anyway.
You’ll see a purple screen, that means you’re in the Live Section! Yay!
Go to System > Administration > GParted.
Click your partition (in my case, /dev/sda3), and shrink it, until you get at least 6,5 GB of free space (the more, the better, but don’t do it to much), while doing that, format the partition to ext4.
Double click the free space, format that to “linux-swap”.
Click Install Ubuntu.
Proceed ’till Ubuntu asks you where you want to install it, in this case, click Manual configuration (Advanced users only).
Note: You’ll now see /dev/sda, don’t install on that, since you’ll lose everything on your hard drive.
Scroll down and select the ext4 partition you made instead (in my case, /dev/sda3).
Give it the “/” path.
Leave the other partitions like they are.
Proceed the installation (users that don’t use English will need to take a little more patience).

Reboot and check your Mac OS X installation; it worked for me.
Reboot again, and go to Linux, and again, don’t worry about the error messages.

Now I’d recommend you to read this manual:

Have fun with Linux and OS X!"

put it on usb, restart the computer then you will be able to go through the ubuntu installation process.
just choose to dual-boot along side mac osx or whatever.
i don't know what boot camp is, but if you're going to install ubuntu do it this way cuz you can partition the drives and everything from just a usb.
