I think it means it wants you to add /opt/kde/bin to your path, so the
system will look for executables there. Near the end of man bash is a
section FILES that tells where bash looks for startup files. You can
edit the appropriate one of those to add /opt/kde/bin to the line that
sets the PATH environment variable, then logout and log back in again.
By default, ls does not show directories or files starting with `.',
unless you tell it -a
There is normally a file .xinitrc which startx uses as a script to
control X. The usual ones mess about with resources for a while, then
start some nice programs. I think kde wants you to replace the one that
doesn't end in & with startkde (it wants to replace or run your window
manager, right?). If you can't figure out how to set the path from what
I told you, you could say
PATH="$PATH:/opt/kde/bin" startkde
here and it should work.
