Let me (try to) give you one on the spot.
If you don't have Debian at all:
1. Download Debian Installer (d-i) Beta4 from
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ and write it to a medium you can
boot from
2. Install Debian with that d-i and it'll install Wheezy straight away. In the
software selection screen, _deselect_ 'Graphical desktop environment', since
that will install GNOME by default. I usually only keep 'Standard system
utilities'. This will give you a very basic Debian system, even without X.
At the end of the installation, boot into this very basic Debian system.
3. Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and add repository lines for sid (copy wheezy
line and change wheezy for sid) and experimental-snapshots (taken from the qt-
kde.debian.net site)
4. run 'aptitude update' and after that 'aptitude safe-upgrade' to get your
system updated to the latest versions
5. Install KDE by doing 'aptitude install kde-standard' (or kde-full or kde-
plasma-desktop and add other packages you'd like).
Also install the pkg-kde-archive-keyring package.
6. Upgrade to KDE SC 4.9.x by running 'aptitude full-upgrade -t experimental-
snapshots'
HTH,
