Using partitions for installing

$

I'm in the process of installing lubuntu 13.10 on an old Mac-mini. Since the newest Ubuntu version 14.04 will soon be coming out, and will have much longer support, I was previously recommended to select the 'Something else' option, then "manually partition the drive into a root (boot flag/) partition and a seperate /home partition (and a swap)." Another person mentioned using /tmp, /home, and /boot partitions. Both agreed that this makes reinstalling much easier and efficient. At the time these suggestions were given, I wasn't ready to perform the installation, and now am.

So far I've selected the 'Something else' screen, but not sure how or where to enter these suggested partitions. Should I select the 'New Partition table' and enter these partitions with commas, or on seperate lines??
