What "CD Image?"  It's exact name.

You could have just failed to tell the installer program to install the
graphical interface. Or the installer had trouble configuring your
graphic card.  I've had this happen a lot in the past, particularly
with old hardware.  But we'lll get to that later, if it applies.  A
quick test:  login as root; type startx at the prompt.  Did the GUI
come up? Or did you get a black screen with or without a working cursor?
If not, what was output to the terminal?
