2.77MB is the space that is not used by any partition. If you want 
to do an automatic install, delete partition 5 and 6 and let the 
install create the partitions it is going to use. If the partitions 
have data you want to keep, then you can not easily install from a 
live CD. You have to do a custom partitioning telling the installer 
to use the existing partitions and where you want to mount them.
