Mmm. I never used this option.. also, I use apt-get in a konsole.

It's not hard... to upgrade the system:

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

(but it would be better to read the manual: man apt-get)

Well, this could be easy to solve if I could know what files did you had 
into /etc/rcS.0/

As instance, it should be a file called: S61kdmset

And, also KDM should be installed on your system, to know it, type

apt-cache policy kdm

Then, we could make X to work.
