My Debian was being evil and wouldn't load due to some mouse troubles

from there). It asked me to download some thing that would get rid of
171 things. In a Momentary Lapse of Reason (I've had very little
sleep), I pushed yes.
It turns out that those 171 things was KDE.
I have no KDE, my Gnome will not work (for some reason) and I forget
the apt-get install code for KDE 3.4.1.
There is a meta package called kde. If you install this, it will pull
all the kde related dependencies. It is very easy to do this.
1) become root
2) Issue the command
apt-get install kde
Follow the instructions on the screen.
As a side note, In the future, try learning about sudo and use it to
install packages directly instead of becoming root.
