I don't know if there are "hot keys" exactly, but generally whether you start
in text or graphic mode depends on which "run level" is used. The run level
can be thought of as a level of operation. Here are the default run levels
for Mandrake:
0 - power down the machine
1 - single user mode
2 - multi-user mode w/o networking
3 - mult-user mode WITH networking
4 - (not used)
5 - multi-user mode with networking and graphical environment
6 - reboot the machine
I'm guessing you want to be able to choose between runlevels 3 and 5. If
you're using the lilo boot loader, you could hit Escape when the lilo screen
comes up, then type the name of the lilo entry you want to boot followed by
the appropriate runlevel number ("linux 3" or "linux 5").
If you wanted to, you could create two entries in lilo -- one that starts
Linux in text mode, and one that starts in graphic mode. But that's another
e-mail. :)
