Where you see "mount point" that should say /home and the size should be an acceptably large size for your home partition.

WARNING! Having a separate partition has it's down sides, you will not be able to adjust the amount of free space between your ubuntu partition and your home directory later, it's very fixed so think carefully about how much space you really need.

Solution 2:

Yes, during the install you will need to choose custom partitioning and manually defined the partition structure. Make sure you set the mount point for your home partition to /home .
