If you want to install KDE, then Damn Small Linux probably isn't the best distro for you.  KDE is large and bloated.  If you want to run a debian based OS with KDE, I would suggest Mepis.  It is one CD and comes with KDE and Open Office.  They also have a pretty good support community at mepislovers.org.

Good Luck,

Mepis is good, but they have been a little slow to release the new version with a later KDE. Try Kbuntu and you can go right to testing the KDE3.5.
The greatest advantage of DSL is, as Fuzzy suggested, it's light. The developers have done a great job of making it easy to use even with it's very small size, but you still need to know a little about the command line interface to optimize for your particular system. If you want to learn Linux from the inside out, DSL also has the advantage of transparency to the kernel. They've given you a nice set of simple tools to get almost any Linux job done in less than 50MB!

The error referred to in the op is caused because you need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file.  The first line should be uncommented and the second commented out like so:

Code Sample
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main
#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ oldstable main non-free contrib
#deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/ testing/non-US main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/ testing/non-US main contrib non-free
#deb http://www.modularity.org/knoppix ./


Once you do this do an apt-get update and then try apt-get install kde.

Good Luck,
