Remeber that the program extracts the iconset from the tarball for you. Sometimes you can end up with an improperly made icon set though and then it won't install.

If this happens try this. Open an xterm and type:

tar -xzf name_of_iconset.tar.gz -C ~/.kde/share/icons/

This folder might be in a different place on Red Hat so check if that folder exists before you run that command.

After that I just have to open up KDE's control center to the appearance section and select the newly added icon set there.
