kde, startx on debian

Hello :-)!

I installed Debian (I downloaded it on may 2009 so it is new version) from CD. I run it and see only text console. I try to type "kde" or "startx" but it doens't recognize those commands. That's difficult for me to believe that Linux from CD doesn't contain graphical interface so I guess it simply must be other command than what I typed. How to enter graphincal interface?

What I see at startup of console:
Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 debian tty1
Linux debian 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP ...
mainacc@debian:~$

And yes, I know that Ubuntu is easier in use.

By the way (this is minor question), after installing this Debian I decided that I am in a hurry and I run Mandriva LiveDVD. However, I cannot copy any files from pendrive to already existing partition with Debian. Is there any way to enable access from LiveDVD Mandriva to Debian ext3 partition? I don't want to delete Debian :-) and I cannot download any other distribution because my internet is terribly slow :-/ and I need to do something rather soon :-).

Greetings :-)!

NAME
pkgkde-override-sc-dev-latest - loosen kde-sc-dev-latest Break restrictions SYNOPSIS
pkgkde-override-sc-dev [-bbase_version] [-vversion] DESCRIPTION
pkgkde-override-sc-dev-lastest is a helper utility which can be used to generate a dummy kde-sc-dev-latest package without Breaks field that is present in the original version. Original kde-sc-dev-latest package is used to force KDE Software Compilation modules to be built against the latest version of the KDE Development Platform modules without bumping versions of a bunch build dependencies for each KDE SC module. However, while original kde-sc-dev-latest does not cause problems when building in clean chroots, the restrictions imposed by its Breaks field might be undesirable on the maintainer system when: o the maintainer wants to (test)build KDE module version X.Y.A against KDE Development Platform X.Y.B where (A > B); o the maintainer builds a new upstream version of the some KDE Development Platform module on the system that has an old version of some KDE Development Platform packages installed. For example, even if kdepimlibs does not build depend on kdebase-workspace-dev, original kde-sc-dev-latest may prevent kdepimlibs X.Y.A to be built on the system which has kdebase-workspace X.Y.B (where A > B) installed. By default, pkgkde-override-sc-dev-latest generates a dummy kde-sc-dev-latest package in the current working directory that is based on the current "candidate" version of the original kde-sc-dev-latest (as per apt-cache policy). You may specify a base version with the -b option. The resulting dummy kde-sc-dev-latest override package will have "base_version+override" as its version unless another one is specified with -v option. Once the package is generated, you can install it like: # dpkg --install kde-sc-dev_<version>+override_all.deb OPTIONS
-bbase_version, --basever=base_version The version of the original kde-sc-dev-latest package to base an override package on. It must be available in the APT database on the system. You may also pass special value "latest" to select the latest available version in the APT database. If you specify "priority", the latest version with the highest priority will be selection. By default (if this option is not specified), candidate version is selected -vversion, --version=version Generate an override package with the specified "version+override" rather than default "base_version+override" version.
