Select 'networking', then 'basic host information'. There you will find an option "host name", which will allow you to set the hostname. Also, my question about hard drive space . I checked several different commands and I still well under what my drive 's space equals. This will not allow me to add any extra software or anything else. Use 'df' (disk free) for that.
