OK well the easy way is to bring up an xterm any old time and type
telinit 3
or if you want to leave the screen running, just use ctrl-alt-f2 or f3-f6 and
you will have a real console ready to log in. ctrl-alt-F7 takes you back to
the screen and leaves the console running.
You can make an at-boot change by clicking on DrakConf=>linuxconf and
changing the runlevel. If you come up in 3, to get to 5 you can use
startx (Windowmanager name) or startx or init 5 or xinit (window or
xterminal name) The last is very interesting--I booted, told lilo
linux 3 # BTW that is another way to go to console mode for a single boot
to come up in runlevel3
then did
xinit /usr/X11R6/bin/rxvt
to bring up X with no WM, just a terminal.
Then from the terminal I did
sapphire
to see the error messages as it tried to come up... Helped immensely with
debugging.
