classification nominal/ordinal data

Hello,
i'm still very new on RM and need some advice ::).
i have data from a survey. about 50.000cases and 30 attributes. my target is to look for pattern in this data. I think i have to use unsupervised techniques such as clustering.
As i know, kmeans needs numerical attributes for clustering, but my data consists of nominal and ordinal and there is no distance.
Thanks for help and sry abot this worse english.

As a short suggestion:
Try the operators KMedoids or AgglomerativeClustering. These provide more distance measures to choose from.
