Can you add the CD to /etc/apt/sources.list or sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
Or just install kubuntu packages alongside ubuntu or as separate?

If you are trying to install kubuntu-desktop from live CD I don´t think it will work.You need alternate CD or download kubuntu-desktop via net.


sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

I have a very slow net connection at home..........Is there any alternate method?
