My friends, specialy Avinash:
I finally finished to install the linux on the Mac. I did what you said, and
worked! OK, that is funny to be afraid to use Drive Setup, is really easy to
use. Now is time to work!!!
Thanks for every thing, Avinash, you really make the diference.
Artur.

Can you install Mac OS first? Maybe the Mac OS 'Drive Setup' utility will
be
able to re-write your partition map. Seems like you have somehow managed to
corrupt your partition map ...
