Hi Brian, Don't take offense from anyone here. Most try to help. I'm also fairly new to Linux and offer the following: I've just downloaded acrobat and the plugin from: http://www.gurulabs.com/downloads.html and ran the rpm from a terminal session logged in as root. Did the following: [local]su [local]password [local]rpm -i acroread-5.06-4.i386.rpm [local]rpm -i acroread-plugin-5.06-4.i386.rpm It put the Acrobat launcher in Extras -> Graphics and it seems to run okay. The plugin tested okay as well. Opened up a pdf file from compaq web site with Mozilla successfully. This was all done in RH8.0 that has had all the RH8 updates installed. Hope this helps. Neil.
