You need to change your runlevel 5 (GUI) to runlevel 3 (text) in /etc/inittab.
vi /etc/inittab > i (insert) >change 5 to 3 >esc >shift : > wq and you should be in text mode the next time you boot,startx to get back into the GUI.

or if you use lilo its much easier to do a liloconfig and add telinit 3 or edit the lilo.conf by adding append="telinit 3"

You can also make this change inside the Mandrake Control Center under the boot options (If I recall correctly)
