I have got KDE installed and I'm sure each file was at least 500K. Also, did you download them as .tar files? (i.e. not .tar.gz or .tgz files?). I would go directly to the KDE site <ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/Beta4/distribution/tgz/source>; and download the latest version from there. The files you have downloaded look close to the required files (apart from the size). I found that you need to compile and install each part in the correct order for this to work. After untarring each file, you probably need to do the following to get them installed (don't just take my word for it though, read the README): ./configure make make install I think that kdelib, kdesupport, kdebase are the first ones that need compiling, the rest should compile in any order, you'll need to check though.
