What's the question? You've already mentioned lilo, the linux
loader.

Sure it comes with Debian GNU/Linux. Please take a look at
/debian/stable/source/x11/xfree* and
/debian/stable/binary/x11/x*
Using the normal installation routine you normally install it. AFAIK
it's preselected and you only have to select the correct X-server.

Use ppp, look at /etc/ppp/
The browser has nothing to do with the dialin. If configured that
way any ip packet which is going to get routed outside of your
machine can cause it to start a connection to your provider.
