to the first question, kupdated isn't related to kde, at all. it's a kernel
update daemon which i believe is related to the kernel's monitoring of memory
swapping. all i can tell you about with any conviction is that you need it
and you don't have a hell of a lot of options on that issue. the more likely
culprit is whatever app is initiating the high rate of repetition of kupdated
being called on to do its job. other issues are how much swap space did you
set up? and how much ram are you working with? swap space is generally best
optimized at a minimum of twice your ram, or more, if you can coax the cpu
into playing the game you want. getting back to the original issue--the
kernel--which iteration of that are you running? consider an upgrade.
as for the second--sorry, ain't got no clue, although commonsense suggests to
me that you should be able to edit whatever configuration dpkg or anything
else generates for you.
i hope this relieves some of the frustration.
