Lilo is just like lilo on any other distro, /etc/lilo.conf. I'm not going to
go into how to use lilo, there have been lots of threads on this. Besides, I
use grub on my x86, and yaboot on my g3 for my bootloaders. Lilo is just
icky.

I'm not a kde person, but I know kde2 is in the unstable branch now. You may
want to try that.
