The way I understand it KDE uses some sort of non-free widget library. That
is why they don't come with Debian Distributions. I would assume that
CheapBytes includes it because they think it is a good idea.

I am having some problems installing debian 2.0 with

I installed base packages off the debian binary cd.
Basically, now what?

I'm feeling rather silly about this question since it seems like it

The CD boots OK, and everything works as before. The only
