which is what I tried to do. I went over to ftp.us.kde.org/blah/blah/distribution/deb/slink/i386 and followed "README" to modify /etc/apt/sources.list file.
It implied that I *could* install KDE 1.1.2 debian packages on Debian 2.1
but dselect deteced dependency to libstd++2.10, which, as far as I know, is
not available for Debian 2.1.

So, I reluctantly upgraded to Debian 2.2.

KDE comes up just fine, a bit slow yes, but comes up. 
Of course, none of KDE games would work because of missing dependency to
lib-telnet-perl(?). :(
