You will -have- to 'mess with the MacOS' to create a partition to install Linux from
No OldWorld machins can boot Linux from the CD. You need a tool called BootX, and a kernel image/initial ramdisk image to do so - its chainloaded throgh MacOS itself. There is a good howto on the Yellowdog Forums (http://www.yellowdog-board.com). I can't link directly as the forums appear to be down right now, or are not routing here.
