Stuck...

[Brian Hazelwood]

Good Morning,   I new to Linux and intalling debian 2.1 for the first time.  I have not had any problems untill this point.  After I am prompted for my "debian login" and password, I recieve the date, time and copywrite info.  However after this I recieve a line  "debian:~#" with the curser waiting for a reply.  I have typed in numerous characters and numbers to no avail.    Is this a licence #?  What should I do from here?    Please Help!   Brian Hazelwood [EMAIL PROTECTED]
