As it says at the bottom of www.debian.org
To report a problem with the web site, e-mail debian-www@lists.debian.org.
For other contact information, see the Debian contact page.

Go to http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/ and then scroll down to
"Official CD/DVD images of the stable release" and then choose
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r3/i386/iso-cd/ (assuming you want
to go with i386 architecture).
KDE is available on the first CD image
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r3/i386/iso-cd/debian-40r3-i386-CD-1.iso

I do not know this. But most of the packages should be available in first 3
CDs.

This is a drawback, I agree. A page which contains the list of packages on
each CD would be very useful. For testing, unstable this list changes
daily. So there is no point in providing that. But for stable this list
could be very useful.

I also like to say that, Linux is NOT for windows users. Linux is for people
who want to do things in a scalable and efficient manner (mostly) by using
open source software.
> Filename of CD image containing KDE?
1st CD usually contains KDE. The exact file name depends upon your
architecture, whether you are using stable, testing, unstable etc.,
As a side note, let me say that the knowledge of which CD contains what
package is immaterial if your debian box is connected to the internet. In
such a case, all it takes is
apt-get install <packagename>
and no need to download the CD images at all. You will be better off with
the small net install image.
