>From there type :
[root@r2d2 installed] tar -zxvf linux-ar-405.tar.gz
ILINXR.install/ILINXR.TAR
ILINXR.install/INSTALL
ILINXR.install/INSTGUID.TXT
ILINXR.install/LICREAD.TXT
ILINXR.install/READ.TAR
ILINXR.install/ReadMe
[root@r2d2 installed] cd ILINXR.install/
Enter installation directory for Acrobat 4.0 [/usr/local/Acrobat4]
Do you want to create it now? [y]

>From there, you can just type ./acroread and the app will run. If you
