The dumb question is the one you DON'T ask.

AFAIK, the easiest way to do this is edit /etc/inittab

On or about line 18, you'll run into

id:3:initdefault:

change the 3 to a 5 and save it.

Now when you startup a screen will appear that allows you to boot into any windows manager you've installed.  Going to a console can be done by raising an xterm or by ctrl-alt-fx where x is 2-6, with ctrl-alt-f7 going back to the windows manager.

This may seem like a dumb question, but I have only run Linux-Mandrake
for 1 week. When I run startx, it automatically boots into KDE. This is
fine, but I would like to test the other Window Managers that I
installed. How do I use startx to boot into WindowMaker (for example)?
