Try adding sh before the ./ part, so it would be:

sh ./iconcs-install-kde.sh

I'm sorry, I don't know about kate terminal. I start a terminal by clicking on the K button on the left end of the panel and then on System (not Sysetem Settings), then on konsole. That will start a Command Line Interface. You will see a prompt that looks something like bigbadben@yourmachine:~$ Run this command first:"cd wherever/you/downloaded the shell scripts/" If they are on your desktop that might be "cd ~/Desktop/ then run these commands

. ./icons-installkde.sh  <--- that's <dot><space><dot><slash>icons etc
. ./style-install.sh
. ./theme-install-kde.sh

Your problem was that you didn't navigate to the directory where you downloaded the files. That's what the cd command does. Then you have to execute the .sh files. You do that with '.' command (lot's of dots), but Linux doesn't look for commands in that directory, so you have to tell it where the command the command is that's the "./" part. Then the commands will install the icons, the style, and the theme to KDE.

I hope you are not offended that I moved this thread to the Help the New Guy forum. It really has nothing to do with the fact that your box has a PPC chip.
