   Boot the media in UEFI mode, as the install gets a bit annoyed   
   in legacy mode. You could do legacy (MSDOS) mode but it might   
   take a couple tries.   
      
   The partitioner appears, when you select "Do Something Else". You   
   don't want a default setup. Then you just dial in a EFI partition,   
   a swap partition, a slash partition on /dev/sda, and the home partition   
   on /dev/sdb. It can all be done from the partitioner.
