My earlier reply had a link to the partition howto.  There is a
section in there that tells you how to make partitions using fdisk.
 Once you know how to use fdisk, the partitioning tool that Ubuntu
uses will be dead easy.

I can't remember off the top of my head what the options are since I
haven't done this since I installed Hoary about six months ago.
However, you want to select something that offers you the choice of
manually partitioning the hard disk vice automatic.  Then make a new
partition for /, one for /swap and one for /home.  Play with it a
bit and you'll see that it's not rocket science.  Just takes getting
used to.

HTH,
Ed
