Partitions: Leopard / Ubuntu

[elyjet]

Hi,
quick question. Im about to wipe out my MacBook 5.1 Alu and install fresh leopard and ubuntu. I had the problem that i could repair the whole HD with those partitions (Mac/Ubuntu/Linux Swamp/Bootcamp).
First Question: Do someone know why i couldnt repair my hd as a whole?
Second Question: Can is just make two partitions and install leopard and Linus without bootcamp?

Thanks in advance

First Question: Do someone know why i couldnt repair my hd as a whole?I really don't know, but OS X does not have the tools to properly deal with Linux filesystems.
Second Question: Can is just make two partitions and install leopard and Linus without bootcamp?
Yes, I would create a HFS+ partition for Leopard and leave the rest as free space. Then when you install Ubuntu, just tell it to use the largest free space.
