I think the easiest way (for a not so experienced user) would be: - Start Mandrake control Center - choose "start of operating system ( I am not sure on the exact english name, since I am using german language)" - unmark in the area "system mode" the option "start of X-Window automatically on boot up" ( again I am not sure on the exact english expressions, but I think the correct english issues will be easily found). Now the system will come up in console mode and you can loginin and start whatever you want.
