Assuming you have all the .deb files in the same directory, you can try this: sudo dpkg --install /path/to/directory/with/deb/files/*.deb However, this will only work if you have every package that is needed by these .debs. So if you haven't already installed libxml2-shlibs (for example) using Fink, and it's not among the .debs that you downloaded, then you'll have to download that too. Don't worry if this sounds complicated, dpkg will tell you if you're missing anything. By the way, what "other methods" aren't working? IE: What have you tried, how does it break? Have you followed all the instructions on Fink's KDE page <http://fink.sourceforge.net/news/kde.php>?
