Can I suggest 2 things
1 make a bigger boot partition (i typically make it 500M - the cost of
drives make this easy, plus it gives you room to move)
2 make another primary partition for root, I typically make it 10G, but
you can make it a lot smaller. Easier for recovery when your root is on
a primary partition and plain ext3.

to answer your question:

you need to select the create partition and then select a file system
type and then a location
