Two ways (that I know of ;^) that you can do this. It sounds like
you're booting into init level 5 (graphical login). (Note: These
instructions are for Red Hat so they _should_ work for Mandrake) You can
either edit /etc/inittab. Find the line "id:5:initdefault:" and change the
5 to a 3.
From /etc/inittab:
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have
networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
Or, you can run linuxconf and go "Config - boot mode - Mode -
default boot mode" and click on "Text mode & Network".
