The package "kde" is probably some kind of "virtual package" and is
quite small. I am not real clear on just what the package "kde" is.
It is probably easiest to do a query on the package list to see all
available kde packages and then select those that you need. To do
this, type the following:
dpkg -l "kde*"
Then you should get a listing of all the kde packages. Say like you
want kmail, then you can "apt-get install kmail" and it will install
kmail along with all the other dependencies required. Any other kde
packages you would like can be installed subsequently. Here is a
listing of the kde packages I have installed on my system:
