I'm not sure if you know, what you're doing, or you try to do.
If you installed Kubuntu, you need a Kubuntu DVD. Kubuntu is also
Debian based, means, this is a forc from Debian, we changed depends,
use other libs and so on, that Kubuntu matches for us. The DVD your're
looking for it's a Debian pure, in this case useless. Kubuntu use
KDE 3.4 while Debian use KDE 3.3
