It sounds likw grub is not swet up right. Get in from the installation cd and post /boot/grub.conf and the output of fdisk -l. We might learn something from that.

localhost#(when enter any commands)
Foxrun....

You are giving me nothing really to work on. Give more detail. The process here is:

1. You moan and tell us your complaint.
2. We ask questions, make suggestions
3. You answer questions, try what is suggested, and feed back
4. Somebody has a brainwave and sasys "Ah, that is what's wrong!"
We're stuck on 1

Does it boot?
can you log in?
does it start X?
Do you know what foxrun is?
where is your root partition and what is the bootup line in grub?
