Well from RH7.0 memory (the last RH I used), you should just be able to 
mount the CDs and rpm -i kde* though you'll have to find and resolve a 
whole bunch of dependencies etc. There's probably an easier way but this 
_will_ work. Of course you might want to pick _which_ bits of kde you 
install, starting with kdebase and kdelibs then adding more and 
resolving deps as you go.

If you've got enough space on your homedir, make a temp dir there and cp 
all the RPMs you'll need there before you do the install, that way you 
can have all the deps resolved and all required RPMs in one place before 
you rpm -i. I seem to remember nightmares about pkg 1 depends pkg2 
depends pkg 3 where pkg 1 and 3 are on disc 1 and pkg 2 are on disc 2... 
*sigh* much easier to work from a temp dir.
