It's telling you its name is localhost, since no one has gotten around
to giving it a more distinctive hostname, and asking you to login by
telling it your username. The first time, you would login as the
administrative user, root, give root a password with passwd, and add an
ordinary user with adduser or useradd, give it a password,...but
probably, at this point, install is not finished with you, and once you
login as root it will resume helping you set up your system.
