Don't know what do you mean by clicking (on my machines there is no mouse avail at this stage), but I suppose you use the keyboard. After pressing a a new window with the following line should appear: grub append> ro root=.... which is the kernel parameter line for the selected kernel which is contained in /boot/grub/grub.conf May be there went something badly wrong during your installation. If the command line does not work, you should boot from the first CD and start the rescue system (use linux rescue at the first screen or use the various function key to obtain more information). That system will try to mount your installed system in to a directory so you can make the previously described changes to inittab. Follow the on screen instructions of the rescue system. > Can I find some e-Book or web site which can explain me the startup > process, X Windows etc...?
