I thought I would see for myself. So, I installed the acroread rpm from here ftp://ftp.uib.no/pub/Linux/uib/fedora/5/i386/AdobeReader_enu-7.0.9-1.i386.rpm and that went fine. However, when I ran > acroread I got endless messages of the form "expr: syntax error" Had you done this yourself, then the web site with Frank Cox told you would have explained the solution to you. (Alternatively, googling for "acroread expr: syntax error" took me to a link that explained the error and gave a solution in the very first link....) Look at http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Fedora_Core_6_-_Troubleshooting making the change to line 418 fixed this problem, and acroread runs just fine now. Moral of this story - Don't just post "It doesn't work" messages. Try and debug what isn't working. Don't just run an app from the gui - start it from the command line as this gives you much more useful feedback. yours Chris
