It is an iterative process. You need to get the needed rpms and add
them to the dl directory and do the rpm -Uvh *.rpm again.

I cannot comment on this as I do not know which instructions you
refer to. Simon's method is one way of doing it.

I have detailed where you can get the rpms from above. The one's
related to KDE are. kdesupport is deprecated, so you must have
got old instructions. Current instructions generally go install
qt, then arts, then kdelibs, then kdebase and then the rest as
you need them.
