Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

kde-control centre - icons - install new icon theme- select the zip file
sometimes, the icon sets may have a 'buildset' file in them...extract that file and do a './buildset'.......follow instructions and at the end of it all a new compressed archive should be created...then select that file thru the process described above
(remember, unless there is a buildset in the archive there is no need to extract it...just select the zip file itself when installing the new theme)
sometimes it's a matter of copying and pasting into /usr/share/icons /usr/share/icons or .kde/share/icons if they are not automatically installed by KDE.

i tried doing it but it says:
Access denied to /usr/share/icons/NIX_Xi
how do i do without having to go into the root account i mean how can i work as root from my own account?? coz i dunno how to do that
You have to install as root if you are installing anything other than in your /home directory, You extract the zip file as a normal user, then do
$su
$cp icons.png /usr/shar/icons/.
cant i do it without the console. i mean actually working as root in my own account?? isnt that possible. well i extracted the icons in /usr/share/icons and .kde/share/icons but they dont show up in kde control panel
