I have downloaded the following packages:

cervisia_3.1.4-0woody1_i386.deb
eyesapplet_3.1.4-0woody1_i386.deb
kcontrol_3.1.4-0woody1_i386.deb
libarts1_1.1.4-0woody1_i386.deb
libqt3-mt_3.1.2-0woody1_i386.deb

After downloading i install them with 'dpkg -i <packet>'. I get some
failure messages but after them i could install kde with 'apt-get
install kdebase kdenetwortk kdemultimedia kdeartworks kdegraphics
kdeamusements kdesdk kdegames kdm' but 'apt-get install kde' will only
produce a lot of depencies.

porting and the missing time i have ;-)
