According to my research, it should be fairly easy to install, either dual or single boot. But, as I said, it is not for me (right now).<lyric> I hit the wall, but there should be the hole</lyric> > Let me be more specific. I know nothing about Mac's!!!

Regarding partitioning, you have to take care of your boot partitions. Both should be under first 8G because iMac won't recognise them. Again, I'm no mac guru (no linux guru, either, but can swim in linux waters, no fear), everything what I'm talking was learnt day or two ago.
