If you're interested in collecting old guides to supplement your information, the Gentoo KDE3 configuration guide can be scrounged from the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20060630093822/http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-config.xml The license is Creative Commons Attribution/Share Alike. Much of the guide is taken up with Gentoo-specific package manager commands, but there are a few bits and pieces that may be good for something.
