On FreeDOS 1.2, the graphical desktops (SEAL, oZone, OpenGEM) are under UTIL.
On FreeDOS 1.3, they are under "Graphical Desktops" If you installed FreeDOS 1.2 "Base", then you didn't get FDIMPLES. That's fixed in FreeDOS 1.3 rc3, but in FreeDOS 1.2 you don't get FDIMPLES unless you do a "Full" install. But even if you don't have FDIMPLES, you can still install packages "manually." Just unzip them and put the files wherever you like. That's the nice thing about DOS - everything is statically linked, and specific paths usually don't matter much.
