How to install Ubuntu on part of the disk?

Question

I have a new Laptop with 500GB hardisk size. I want to install 3 kind of Linux distribution. The first Linux will be Ubuntu.

Now, I want that the installation of Ubuntu will take over only 100 gb and I don't know how to do it.

I load the machine from the disk and I choose 'install Ubuntu' and I wait on the 'installation type' screen.

I chose the option of creating or resize the partition by myself - but I don't know what to do next.

please any help

I assumed that there is no OS installed before. You can use GParted to split your HDD into several partitions:

i split to 4 part - each part is ext4 with 70 giga - now i can't split to swap partition – Yanshof Mar 12 '16 at 06:02
just make new partition with 1 or 2 GB and format it as linux swap. and ubuntu will automatically detect, than mount it as swap. – glam Mar 14 '16 at 14:08
