Hello, all.
This is my first time on a Linux platform, so please understand that acronyms, short-hand and any knowledge or common vernacular you would expect one to have is almost certainly not known by me.
That out of the way now, I have a question.
I downloaded and implemented the Windows Installer. It went through its process and got to the point in the installation where I was given a text box that was advertising the features of Ubuntu. Meanwhile, the install was being verified by the system.
After the verification, the screen went to black, brought up a white Ubuntu logo, and then GNU GRUB 1.94 came up and gave me a list of commands that were brought up by pressing TAB. The commands ranged from "boot", "sleep", "source", "configfile", etc, all in a section of text a paragraph long.
Now, I typed and entered "Boot" with no results, or at least, unsatisfactory results.
What exactly is going on? Have I made a mistake?
Thank you.:)
