Hi David.

All you need to do is install kubuntu-desktop. I have
ubuntu installed which gives ubuntu-desktop(gnome) and
all I did was install kubuntu-desktop.  Works the
other was around if you install Kubuntu instead of
Ubuntu. The two are essentially the same with
different default desktops.
When you start your computer and get to the login
screen you can select which desktop to start by
clicking the lower right icon then click session type
and select the one you want.
