I have a laptop with XP on it that I want to dual boot with Mandriva LE 2005.
I followed the install instructions and have now a dual boot system. However when booting Mandriva the splash screen appears and then I get a black screen with a mandriva logo and what looks like a terminal screen prompting me for my username and password. Being new to Linux I don't know if this is normal but I would assume it to start with a pretty desktop. Any ideas what might have gone wrong in the install?
