    Unhappy Installed, rebooted, blinking cursor

    Installed the minimal system ( didnt check any of the boxes when it asked me what i wanted to install.
    I just want a command line system to build from btw )

    Finished the installation and i just get a blinking cursor now.

    Tried this three different times and every time it has failed.

    Help please

    You will need a liveCD not the minimal to run this:

    No, that that has to be run from a running system is to fine out what is on your system where, and maybe figure out why it does not boot.

    This might be a dumb question. Did you remember to change the boot order in the BIOS so that you boot from your hard drive?
