Hey!!! It worked!!! Here is the final look:

Partition table entries are not in disk order

Finally I got to see the table to boot to different OS!  Do I have to
worry about disk order?

In installation partition section I did (as Tom directed) the manual
partitioning. Then for sda3 selected ext3,  /boot and format options.
sda5 - ext3, /home, format. and sda6 - ext3, /, format. I wasn't sure
what to do with sda4, but as it was not mentioned in directions, i
didn't do anything with it.

Thank you again, Tom. I was lost reading forums. There are so many of them but I couldn't figure too much. Would have taken me a month. Now I am going to work on software little by little. 
Thank you once again :))))
