Re: front end for pac man??

there's loads of frontends for pacman, no official ones. Do a forum search to find some.

Does the file /etc/rc.d/kdm exist?

Depending on how you are setup, you might need to put an entry in your ~/.xinitrc file, too:

startkde

No, it needs to be part of your daemons array.

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia network netfs crond kdm)
