Well, yes i was using startkde. So I guess I have to install kdm or gdm before running startkde, if I understood correct? And the way to install either one of them is by using aptitude install kdm for example?
I tried aptitude installl kdat and it gave me a message nothing is available to install. Any other suggestions? I search google and I found something named kdat_3.5.7-1_i386.deb. What type of file is it and how can I install it?

1) Can you be more specific? How are you trying to start KDE? The script
startkde does not replace startx, but rather is run from within a
.xinitrc. Most people run some kind of display manager like kdm or
gdm, which starts kde for you.
2)
aptitude install kdat
should work.
Note the spelling of "aptitude"
