To vicinc,
N.B. I am a NON-EXPERT linux user and an android noobie.
There is a MacTel support team on the Ubuntu forums:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSuppor...unityHelpPages
You might look at that before proceeding to download a Live CD iso.
The isos are available for download at:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.10/release/
There are some that are said to be designed to work on intel macs. If the ones in this directory don't seem to be appropriate, just move up to the parent folder and check other ones. (For example, there are different isos for PPC and Intel Macs.
Note that you CAN run directly from the Live CD without installing. Link:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1653809 (the link included in this thread is broken, use the one above that I listed.) I haven't tried this with my iMac (it is a PPC and I don't have any PPC Linux distros - lack of interest).
Hope some of that helps.
BTW, since the Mac OS X is a UNIX derivative, is it possible that you could do what you need in the native Mac OS X environment?
Obviously, it may be more comfortable to download a live iso, burn it, boot from it and follow the nice instructions...<g>
Hope some of that is helpful
