1) Add hal to the DAEMONS array in rc.conf
2) See the Beginners Guide. It tells you everything about it.
3) No idea - I have never used KDE.

#3: once the sound system is running (add alsa or oss to the DAEMONS array), KDEMod will use it automatically.

NEVER start an xserver from a root account!
I really would appreciate you to read a little bit in wiki.... especially the beginners guide!

If gdm is starting during your boot you need to switch to the console (ctl-alt-f1) and login there. Then follow the directions in this part of the Beginners guide.

Yeah, the most complex thing I've done is a net install of ubuntu.
I like that fact that it feels awesoem when you fix something.
Also what the command to get the arch info thing?

You'd have to be a little more specific than "arch info thing"

If you mean the script you see in the screenshots, search the bbs for info.pl.
archlinux - please read this and this — twice — then ask questions.
