I won't flame you, but...
If you were using dselect and/or aptitude and/or deity or some other
frontend to APT, you might have had an easier time.
But, using APT:
apt-get update && apt-get install x-window-system kde
You shouldn't have had to touch APT config files once you've specified
which archives it should use.
