A harmless message from LILO.

2. The look and feel of fonts and icons on the KDE desktop are not as they are when running from the CD.

I'm not sure if both things are related. I've checked the xf86config file in /etc/x11/ to see if it's exactly the same as that created when running from the CD. No problems there. I'm banging my head against the wall trying to figure what the problem is, I really prefer the way things look when running on the CD. Any tips please?
XF86Config-4 doesn't affect how the desktop looks. There is nothing wrong with your system. KDE is highly configurable, just tweak it to your liking. Use the KControl Center
