I can't choose desktop enviroment in Slackware 13.1 installation

Hi all, for first, sorry for my bad english.

I've got problem with choosing desktop enviroment in Slackware 13.1 installation.
I can't choose it, because it isn't there ! I don't know what to do. But I think it's because I've downloded 590MB .iso file. I think, that It doesn't include any desktop enviroment and I have to download it on my own.

I have followed this "How to install" - http://maketecheasier.com/install-an...-13/2010/01/21

And I don't have this: http://images.maketecheasier.com/201...kware13-wm.jpg

So, please, help me,if you can =)

Thanks a lot to all.

Regards

It sounds like you've only downloaded the first ISO image. KDE is found on CD 3 and other desktop environment/window managers are on CD 2. You don't need to start the installation from scratch, you can just install the packages you need. Of course, it might help to just download the DVD ISO, so you've got everything.
