The best way to test something is to use a solitary session with a KDE4 
test user account.  Any other way and you run the risk of missing bugs. 
  This is very simple to do with KDE, just "Switch User :: Start New 
Session:.

I have to say that the same is true of the method in the techbase howto. 
  If you install in: $HOME/kde rather than /usr/local/KDE-4.0. (note 
that "/local" is optional) you run the same risks.

I would suggest that it always better to write your own scripts rather 
than use canned ones.  This is really the only way to know what you are 
doing.

How do I fetch KGET and all requiered modules/dependencies?

Sorry, I don't quite understand your question.

SVN modules are fetched with: "svn co".

KGet, is just the KDE download manager, so you can use it to download 
anything you need to download.

What you download for dependencies depends on your distro and whether 
you want to install binaries or build them from source.

If you can be more specific, I will try to help.
