Not in this case as there is no source invloved, futher more the ReadMe
file as far as i can see, does not even directly say HOWTO install the
software, it concerns setting up Abdoe under netscape and window managers.
The proceedure to install is;
cd /usr/local/src
tar xvzf /path/to/linux-ar-405.tar.gz
cd ILINXR.install
./INSTALL
hit the space bar twice, you should then see a line asking you to either
enter "accept" or "decline", after typing accept the install carry's on and
install everything in /usr/local/Acrobat4
Thats it.
Someone else sent a URL containing instrutions for configuring netscape.
