That sounds to me like, for some reason, your graphical user interface (GUI, also called "X") is not working. So the system couldn't start the special "firstboot" service that lets you set up your first/primary user. You should be able to login as "root," with the password you set in the installation process. Then you *could* do the following: useradd <name> # This command sets up a new normal user passwd <name> # Use the user name; lets you set a password for him That gets you a primary user account for now. But optimally, what you really want is for that GUI to work. Did the installer work in its usual point-and-click, GUI form? -- Paul W.
