Well, I expected the "use as" can be selected as a root partition, but
that page only display following menu:
use as:

EXT 3
EXT2
Reiser FS
JFS
XFS
FAT16
FAT32
Swap area
Physical volume for encryption
Physical volume for LVM
Physical volume for RAID
do not use the partition

There is no "root partition", I actuall selected it as ext3, then it
came above error.

Now, if I select mount point to "/", it also came another error.

I actually don't want to do any partition change, the #5 has already
partitioned and formated as ext3. But I could not go over that
partition page. How can I skip partition page and just install the
Debian directly to hda5?

Thank you.
