It seems that the default for XFCE is Atril

That should depend on the desktop system you install for the live cd.
I use kde for years and never heard about evince.
Afaik debians default desktop system is gnome, so the pdf-reader should be the 
gnome default (if you're going with debians defaults), but I don't know, what 
gnome default is.

cheers Reinhard

Well my choice after years in the printing industry is out!
I always use The genuine Adobe product but I doubt that choice is

Hi Andy

It woud be better if a PDF reader is installed from the word go as it 
will be needed anyway sooner or later

And it looks like the installer doesn't include a local version of the
HTML docs.

There is also then the question about what to do with the French docs,
which are very outdated, and with the Chinese docs which are new but
don't get built AFAIK.

If there is a PDF document in the LiveCD, a reader should be included. If
you don't know how to install a reader, you can't read the docs

Just my view.

[Emc-developers] LiveCD Install

I have been experimenting with configuring a LiveCD image for 2.8.
I have decided to make the system fairly small, so no OpenOffice etc
by default (they can, of course, be added from Synaptic)

One side-effect of this is that the "documentation" entry in the CNC
menu does nothing, as it tries to open a PDF document.
