hi, KDE Install success, wrote down some stuff

[Vadim Peretokin]

I tried installing KDE on my virtual xp before also, but all it did was
download a whole lot of packages, leave them in the downloaded directory,
and start a couple of installers. I'm not much of a technical expert on
windows, so I gave up for the time being.

I'll try it again with your guide though, thanks!
