[Chicago] MacBook Pro

[swg]

I primarily use Ubuntu on my Macbook, but keep OS X around and have them 
dual boot using bootcamp.

I used the built in partitioner on OS X, and while it worked, it seems 
to be very picky about the disk sizes.  I've found that if I use any of 
the configurations is offers by default, things seem to work ok, but 
everytime I've tried to make them the sizes I really want, it tarballs 
everything up and I end up starting from scratch...
