You have gdm in there. Sure it's KDE that's being started?
Oh well. S99gdm is starting the GNOME display manager.
However, you oughta be able to boot directly to a command line by booting
to "Linux single" from the LILO prompt. That's usually where I go when I
need to install kernel-heavy stuff like device drivers. You shouldn't need
to have exim, inetd, mysql, or apache running to install those, and you're
going to want to reboot anyway after you're done.
(Incidentally - normally a KDE install would have S99kdm in rc2.d.
Assuming you want the Full KDE Experience, you might want to apt-get
install kde, and then dpkg-reconfigure kdm to make sure that kdm is
selected as the default display manager.)
