    That's what it's supposed to say--you've successfully logged in, and the
system is waiting for a command.  The "[caymen@localhost]" part lets you
know where you're logged in, and who you're logged in as (apparently you
didn't change the hostname when you installed Mandrake, which isn't a
problem).  From this point you can do whatever you want.  If you want a GUI,
type "startx" (without the quotes) at the prompt, assuming it was configured
properly when you installed the system.
