Once you have "created" the machine click on the CD to the right and
click the Mount check box then click the Host CD/DVD Drive.  That should
get the local drive going.  Power on the VB Machine.

Once the OS is installed the activate the cd
System->Administration->Software Sources, it should be right on the
first tab at the bottom.
Don't think the kde package shipped with the live CD though since they
have their own cd but I could be wrong.  Once you do the above you can
check for it.
