Thanks. I've found it now. That was certainly non-intuitive. Beats me why anyone would bury a package installer that far down in the availability pool - that's normally the thing I would use more often than anything except the terminal window. Let's see now... right-click on the background to bring up the contextual menu navigate down the menus through Utils | Elive Control Panel Hover over the three huge icons until you find the one where the scrolling text underneath says "Admin and System Configurations" (and look quickly before it disappears) Click on that icon (the keychain) Stare at the available icons until you can read the small print that says "Synaptic" (or hover and catch the scrolling text that says "Packages Manager" before it scrolls off the screen) Click on it to launch, enter the admin password, etc - all is good from here on out. I tried to drag the icon out of the control panel to place a link somewhere more obvious (dock, desktop), but no go.
