ok well i installed fedora 5 on my compaq computer i used the text 
version...well i thought something was weird when it said installation was 
complete and i only used 2 cds (and i had to have five?) well it said to 
reboot, which i did...and when it reebooted it runs a bunch of tests and 
never loads the GUI instead it gets to ..... Localhost Login screen and i 
have no idea what to type....did i miss something? i put in a root password 
at installation but never a login or anything? what do i do? i just want to 
get to the desktop....i looked in the installation guide and it shows an 
example through the graphical interface so i shut down the computer and put 
the first disk in and did the upgrade with the graphical 
installation....well it loaded something and then said installation complete 
(only used disk one) and it said to reboot, which i did. and when i 
rebooted, it asks for my login again....what do i do?? any help please? i 
just want to have fedora on this computer...thanks
