To be honest, my experience of using the 'something else' option has not
been good! It's far easier and quicker usually to let the Ubuntu
installer follow the defaults and then put your stuff back. And you
don't get the annoyances of forgetting to specify the right boot sector
and getting that wrong, then having to work from the live-CD to
re-install grub. That's a pain and often happens almost by default in
the 'Something Else' option.
