/dev/sda5 was an unformatted piece of the disk that
was left there I do not know why.  When I retried the
installation, I removed the swap and all empty
nonformated partitions keeping only the first two
partitions.  Installation worked the next time around.
 

I have redone this installation and it has worked. 
Got some other problems like sound not working.  Will
get back to ask questions when needed.

Regards,

Antonio
