Installing KDE themes

I looked over my Mandrake Linux 7.1 documentation, but I can't figure out how to install a new KDE theme. I know how to select a new theme, but can't figure out how to install one downloaded from the net. I just downloaded from KDE.themes.org three new themes. They are TAR files. magellan-1_1_2_tar Babylon%205-1_1_2_tar Natural%20E-1_1_2_tar I am going to put them on floppies and take home to my Linux machine. How can I install these from the KDE Themes Manager using the floppies? Viewing the files now using Windows NT, they look like ZIP files.

First install or copy themes from your floppy in to your /home/path directory and run KDE control center. ----> desktop ----> Desktop theme ---> install or import new themes --> and select it from your /home dir. That's all. Or better still just stick the floppy in open the KDE control center go to themes and import the themes from your floppy. Ok.
