Editing Auto Label Partitioning Installation

<noinclude>{{NavHeader|back=Entire Disk Installation|forward=Custom Disk Partitioning Installation}}</noinclude> 

'''Auto label Partition''' can create a partition slice. It lets you choose how much space you want to use on the hard drive and automatically allocate a root(/) with UFS Journaling softupdates, SU+J and a swap that will equal the system ram. Using '''Auto label Partition''' is inspired from Windows partitioning. No worry about labeling partition, on most other systems it is not an option.
