How do I install The Style and KDE Theme Manager in Kubuntu ? Please help me :)

Please let me know ow to install Style when .deb packages are not available ?

+++ I wanna write a basic guide towards linux which will teach newbies about directories..like /etc/ /mnt and all .. +++ info about distro.. Desktop Manager.. Package Manager.. What else should I add to make it more newbie friendly :)

Also I am planning to buy Apple Shuffle or Nano 3g , not yet decided which 1 but still will they work under Linux.. I mean syncing and all.. Can I copy music and video if chosen nano without any problem ?

Regards

I think in kcontrol with admin mode,u may be able to install window decorations/style etc.
kde theme manager?isnt that kcontrol itself?(sry,I am on archlinux kdemod) still "kthememanager" is a dir.this is provided by kdebase-data package in Ubuntu.
also,see knoppix wiki:
*www.knoppix.net/wiki/How_to_Theme_KDE
really,it is tough to theme in kde compared to Gnome :)

oh well,kdm theme manager is available:
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kdmtheme kde-kdm-themes

edit:u can convert below rpm of kthememanager to .deb using alien and try installing.if the dir are correct,it may work,remember it is a obsolete app as kcontrol already contain ktheme manager.
