Fresh install of Slack 9.1 .. no KDE by default? *fixed*

So I totally FUBAR'd my Linux partitions yesterday so I've gotta reinstall. I was running Slack 9 but my roomie DL'd 9.1 when I made him switch to Linux so I figured I might as well throw 9.1 on. After installing I noticed that KDE doesn't come on the first disk, just the small non-eye-candy like Window Managers.. so I threw the second disk in and sure enough, there's KDE. So I copied the KDE dir to my HDD, browsed into it, and ran the install program ./install_ .. got errors about files not existing and noticed I had to rename 'em all to lower case(they were all uppercase).. no biggie, so I did that real quick and ran it again, got the normal Slack install menu, selected all the packages, and installed 'em. But now startkde just spits out errors and what not.. Before I boot back into linux and write the errors down (because I was an idiot and didn't do it) is there anything basic I'm missing, like someone I forgot to install/do first/after?

<edit>It was something stupid on my part, just pretty frustrated right now after losing everything</edit>
 
This is what I get:

xset: unable to open display ""
xset: unable to open display ""
xset: unable to open display ""
xsetroot: unable to open display ""
startkde: Starting up...
startkde: Running kpersonalizer...
kwin: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server
kpersonalizer: cannot connect to X server (this repeats indefinitely until I break the program - ctrl -c )
