Hi all. New to Linux and of course to Fedora. So far my experience has
been more than positive :)
Now here is my first question.
I downloaded Adobe Acrobat reader. I untar it?? (sorry I lack in Linux
jargon, I mean unzipped it) and then the instructions say to run the
shell command. I run the command and I only get the licence agreement
with the option to Close or Cancel. Whatever I choose the program does
not install. I tried it as user and as Root with the same results.
Does anyone has Acrobat installed in his computer and is there any
workaround to this problem?
I use Fedora core 1 on a P4 2.8 with 1GB ram if this matters.
Thanks and looking forward to a virus and bag free life with Linux.

Not exactly an answer to your question, but fedora comes with a number of PDF viewers anyway, so you shouldn't need to install Acrobat. If they work for you, the fedora viewers shall be a better idea, as they are maintained by fedora and you can take advantage of yum, etc.


If I had to guess what the problem was, I would say that probably you are supposed to scroll down to the end of the license agreement to see an OK button. Just a guess tho.
