Steve,

look in your /tmp/kde-username for a "random-filename.tar.gz" with 1.4GB
and decompress it to the kstars directory:

$HOME/.kde4/share/apps/kstars/

if the file in the /tmp directory is corrupt you could download the data
it from the kde-server.

cd $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/kstars/
wget http://download.kde.org/apps/kstars/USNO-NOMAD-1e8-1.0.tar.gz
tar xvzf USNO-NOMAD-1e8-1.0.tar.gz

this should end in a file called USNO-NOMAD-1e8.dat in the kstars directory.

go to kstars preferences and set "star-catalogs->star-density" to a
level you prefer.
*
*you're done. :)
