If you want a private copy of acroread, one only executable by you, you may tar xzvf linux-ar-405.tar.gz (feel free to TAB for file-name completion under bash) , then cd to the directory that is created, which you'll see at the beginning of each filename as tar writes them out. ls , and read the README (however it is named). There may be an install script, or maybe you'll use it just as you've unpacked it, in which case, add that directory, or directory/bin, to your path in .bashrc. Or add a link in whatever executable directory you already have in your .bashrc to directory/acroread . If you want acroread to be usable by all those who use that platform, you ought to ask the sysadmin to install the Debian package, like Pavel says. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 972-729-5387 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (home phone on request) http://www.koyote.com/users/bolan RE: xmailtool http://www.koyote.com/users/bolan/xmailtool/index.html I am the "ILOVEGNU" signature virus.
