Login as root when you see the penguin, supply the root password you set
during the install, and then at the command prompt type "startx" Or,
login as user if you've set up a user account, supply password, then at
the command prompt$ type "startx" without quotation marks. If you
haven't set a user account, do one as soon as possible.
