I am running Slackware 10, kde 3.3.2 and kernel 2.6.10.
I just have a few "nit pick" questions. Like how can I get rid of the home and trash icons on the desktop? Second, How can I make the txt at boot small again. After a kernel upgrade the txt is huge. I will post my lilo.conf at the end. And another question is how can I find all the txt at boot up. Cause I have a few errors at boot that are not really causing any problems but I want to get rid of them.
Thanks for all the help I have recived and may recive in the future.

You don't have to switch on framebuffer to get smaller text. Just enable
Video mode selection support under Device Drivers -> Graphics support -> Console display driver support -> Video mode selection support
And then in the lilo file
vga = normal change to vga=ask
Issue the command lilo after modification.
At boot-up you will ask to give a choice of the size of your fonts. You can experiment with the choices given, when you are satisfied with the choice you have made. Get the hex base number of your choice. Convert it to decimal and replace ask with the decimal number.
