Installing Ubuntu on partition other than sda1
I am trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) on partition sda2.
My current setup looks like this:
sda1 - Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid (Ext3)
sda2 - Blank partition (Ext3)
sda3 - Windows 2000 (ntfs)
sdb1 - User Data (Ext3)
sdb2 - User Data (ntfs)
sdc1 - User Data (Ext3)
sdc2 - User Data (ntfs)
When I try to install from a Jaunty LiveCD, it gives me three options:
1. Install them side by side, choosing between them each startup
2. Use the entire disk
3. Specify partitions manually
Which should I choose? Obviously #2 is not the right answer. I tried #3, which takes me to a screen that lists all the partitions on my system, but it's not clear to me what I need to do on that screen. I want to re-format sda2 as Ext3 and install to that partition without resizing.
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

***DISCLAIMER***
Please note that I do not want to put my /home directory on a separate partition, nor do I want to create a swap partition (I will use a swap file instead). Also, I know that Jaunty is not the most recent Ubuntu release, and I know that I have the option of upgrading my sda1 Intrepid partition via Synaptic.
