Step 8
Make a /swap partition. This partition determines how the Linux kernel gets information from your RAM. Generally, this partition will be about double the size of your RAM.

Step 9
Make a root partition, designated by a single forward slash (/). This partition is essentially the same as the C drive on a Windows machine. It will contain setup files and the directories for various devices on your computer.

Step 10
Make a /home partition. This will contain all of the user files. The installation sequence will ask you a series of questions about what you want to install (there are a lot of possibilities). When you are done, click "OK," and the Linux will begin to install.
