ask about "hostname" install at home, im newbie, tk

Just pick any name you like. It's mostly used to identify the machine, it doesn't matter if it's a server or not.

I name all my computers as characters or places from the Neuromancer book. Other people use Star Trek characters. Use whatever you like.

But, it can't have spaces and you can only use a-z, 0-9 and the hyphen (-).

Post the error, the version of FreeBSD and some details about your computer and we may be able to help.

We're good but we're not clairvoyant.
 
Do not use a domain .local, that will conflict the multicast DNS domain .local if you have devices or computers capable of using it.

It may help to talk with someone on irc as you work through installing FreeBSD. Point your irc client to irc.freenode.net in room ##freebsd

Alternatively you could install www/wgetpaste and post your errors from the command line here until you get X11 complete.
