in your help files kde help there is the unix section. those are your unix comands.at any used book store for couple dollars linux books are everywhere. also at any library for free. all the linux books have the unix comands in them.
if the unix commands are not there you need to install them from your disk. it is under documents.

Please use better thread titles in future, i.e. ones that describe your question/problem.

You might like to have a look at http://www.linuxcommand.org/.

Instructions for Kopete can be found here.

Here's the official mandriva documentation page:

http://club.mandriva.com/xwiki/bin/v..._documentation

From the starter's guide:

http://club.mandriva.com/xwiki/docum...o-chapter.html

here's and intro to the command line. And here's some nice summary documentation on the command line:

http://www.tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-To...tml/index.html

That should get you started but it's a pretty vast subject that you only start to master with continued use. Just jump in and start exploring; the more you use the command line the more you learn and retain.
