I thought that lynx was only missing on the basic LiveCDs. There is a note
about 
this in the installation guide:

"""
Note: On the basic LiveCD, lynx is substituted with links2. To use links2
with 
proxy, press Escape once inside links2 and go to Setup, Network Options.
Don't 
forget to save everything in Setup, Save Options
"""

Great, they fooled me into thinking that it was only the basic LiveCD. *sigh*
and then to know that the majority of ppl found that lynx should be available...
