I just installed Linux Mandrake 9.0 and now I have a problem that I didnt expect. When I started my computer I expected it to default to the desktop (KDE), however, it just went to a black screen with the prompt for localhost login. I thought that was odd but I entered my username that I setup thinking that would get me in. Then it went to a new prompt that say [xxxx@localhost xxxx]$. I am not sure what to do, this pc is not in the internet so I didnt set up a password. I am not sure what it is asking for I just want to be able to get to the desktop so I can start learning some things about linux.

Can anyone help me out with this?

Thanks.
