It can be anything, and it usually is not visible anywhere, so you can call it as you like; "sony" is possible, or "laptop", or "test", or "localhost" - whatever you like. Usually keep it lowercase, do not use special characters (just a-z, 0-9 if needed). > single user or without hostname wlan WLAN is not a deal at the current stage of installation. > would ot work ? Without a hostname, it won't work. This name is needed for the system in order to function properly. > 4. > 2.5.4. Installing from the Network > Figure 2.9. Installing from the Network > Figure 2.10.

FreeBSD can only install when there is sufficient _unused_ (unallocated) space on the disk. Make some free space from Linux, using its graphical partition editor. Leave that space untouched, do not create anything there, it's not needed. > ZFS partitioning, only available in FreeBSD 10 and later, creates an > optionally encrypted root-on-ZFS system with support for boot > environments. > > author correct ? You can choose between a UFS and a ZFS installation. ZFS is usually preferred on server systems. Both support encryption. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
