aptitude install x-window-system kde

Then either run "startx" as a normal user, or "/etc/init.d/kdm start" as
root, or reboot. That should put you into X with KDE as your environment.

If it fails, we'll need to know more details, such as error messages,
particularly lines marked with EE in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or
/var/log/XFree86.0.log.
