If they were club, I assume that means a number of folks ask for them, which brings up a question I've had for some time: Why? W/ MSWormOS, Acrobat was necessary, because there was no native PS/PDF support. W/ gv, kghostview, ggv, xpdf, etc, why on EARTH is a proprietary viewer necessary? At one point, during the KDE 3.1 betas, kgv failed to work correctly, but ggv or xpdf, etc, continued to work just fine.

[Cooker] 9.1RC1 - acrobat plugins + Galeon
I've upgraded two machines from 9.0 -> 9.1RC1 and both have this issue. I have the acrobat reader "plugin" on the 9.0 systems, after upgrade, it still works but consumes 100% of the system and is so S-L-O-W. Unusably slow, in fact... Acrobat is: acroread-nppdf-5.0.6-1mdk acroread-5.0.6-1mdk Since these came from the Club, I guess bugzilla is inappropriate, but this is a real killer! /Kevin -- Kevin J.
