hmmm, what disk did you install on?  Is this the new bootloader?

I'd not recommend KDE 3 on a riscpc, it's slow enough on a cats (And
that's faster than a riscpc)  I'd say take a look through the wm dir of
pkgsrc, rox might suit you well if you're used to risc os.

But it does depend if you have the time and bandwidth to download and
build.
