How do I install Ubuntu as the only OS on a MacBook?
That is, I'd like to completely remove Mac OS X and install Ubuntu. I've tried dual-booting, but I've had so much trouble that I prefer to have only Ubuntu installed.

Insert the Ubuntu LiveCD into your Mac and Shutdown. Restart the Mac and hold the Option Key. When prompted select 'Try Ubuntu' .
Once the system is booted run Disk Utility from the dash .
Select your hard disk and click on Format Disk .
Now select 'No Partition' .
Now install Ubuntu normally .
