Well, if I understand it correctly, you mean to say that I have to select
the manual partitioning scheme during installation. And after that, I have
to make

#1 primary partition for /
#2 extended partition and inside it two, which are /home and /swap

So overall, I am using two only partition which is *primary*. Even though
the whole of the space would be occupied in only the above written two
partitions, the other 3 primary partitions would remain as such though not
made and not required. If I am wrong, please correct it.
