Where is the problem? You can select in the Debian installer to use
Lilo.

Installing KDE is a choice, you can deselect it

Which problem?
apt-get build-essential
should pull almost anything into the system which let you use make and
and gcc.

I use Debian now since beginning of 1999 and it mostly just worked.
OK, systemd is a nightmare but I got it nicely removed.
Also some other minor problems with bluetooth and network where
dependencies are missing if you do not use systemd.
But now anything is working perfectly.
Thanks to the mailingists with all its nice and competent subscribers.

Have a nice weekend
