The urpmi.addmedia simply adds the directory to the list of sources used by urpmi and the Mandrake Software Manger (such as Mandrake CD1, CD2, etc). To actually install KDE3, go back to the directory where you have the files (/home/"MyName"/kde3 in your posting). Once there, root, do a urpmi * and that will install it.
