irst off, I never found out how to quit the X-server without shutting down totally or rebooting
could try keycombo ctrl+alt+backspace
or ctrl+alt+F2 or ctrl+alt+F7
then when the terminal comes up, type ps -aux
the just type kill (where pid# is the number assigned to KDE or XFree in the ps -aux listing.
set it to *not* boot straight into X.
yep from su terminal just vi /etc/inittab
then replace the initdefault with a 3 instead of the 4 or 5 that is there.
I dont use mandrake b.t.w.
