Yes. During install you can use disk druid to do exactly what you want.
One thing, if you tell it to automatically partition for you, then if you
go and make changes, it will STILL automatically rearrange partitions on
you. You might want to try auto, make note of the suggested sizes, then
select back and select manual.
