I am told that some Linux distributions have a non-GUI mode where you can boot the computer and not have it automatically enter into the GUI, but simply launch the GUI when i would like to. Does mandrake have an option to do this? My Mandrake basic installation seems to almost require the GUI to be running. It boots into the GUI, and from the GUI there is no exit to a shell.

I was kind of thinking it would be nice to have an option in LILO to boot just to the shell or to the full GUI. But it would be nice to be able to enter the GUI from the shell without having to reboot, and exit the GUI to a shell without having to reboot.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
