Installing KDE

I am currently using xfce4 and icewm.  But I would like to try KDE.  I read the wiki but it doesn't tell you what packages to install.  I see about a dozen or so packages in extra/kde. 

What packages do I need to install to get KDE up an running?  kdebase and kdelibs?  Or are there other key packages?

Re: Installing KDE

they're all basically key packages...

Some of them you don't need... like kde-toys and kde-games.
but...  Take the advice of iphitus...  it's just easier.
