    What distro are you using? Usually you can just use your distro's proprietary package installer. For example:
    Code:
    apt-get install kde   # Debian
emerge kde            # Gentoo
yum kde               # Redhat/Fedora
urpmi kde             # Mandrake
    etc. This is probably the easiest way to do it. These commands should be run as root.

    Once you get KDE installed, just use your login manager's "Session" button to switch to it. Good luck!
    Situations arise because of the weather,
    And no kinds of love are better than others.

    Chances are you already have KDE installed, just edit your ~/.xinitrc and comment out "exec gnome-session" and add "startkde"

    I think that will only work if you start X from the command prompt by typing "startx". If you use a login manager like GDM or XDM, as you probably do, you should just be able to select KDE from your Sessions dialog.
