Yes my mistake after I sent the email I noticed that you had
already installed 
kde. So just make sure your user name is visible at the login screen and you 
should be able to choose kde plasmaworkspace from the drop down menu.

Ok, this means that all of KDE is already installed on your machine.

Oh yes, you do, it is just invisible. :-) You need to type in your
username first (or select it from a list, depending on your
configuration), and *only* *then* look for the drop-down menu. IIRC,
it should be called "session" or something. You can choose there
between KDE, Gnome, and maybe a few others... ;-)

HTH, :-)
