    Bongo,
    if you download this http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html Select the tar.gx option to your home drive & right click & say extract to \blahblah don't select to here otherwise you will get a pile of "crap" in your home drive! once finished click on the new folder & you will find a file with the word installer right click & make sure in the properties it is set to executable. from a terminal cd /home/yourhomefolder/the_folder_name_of_adobe_acrobat once you can see the file installer "ls" will show the contents type sudo & the name of the installer file supply your logon password then take the defaults etc & it should install for you.

    I am going from memory if there are any variations reply back & I will help.

      Automatix used to have an Adobe Reader available to install -- I haven't looked lately.

          Step 1: Enable extra repositories

          Step 2: Paste this command into the Konsole terminal:
          Code:
          sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install acroread

            Can't get any of this to work. I have the extra repos enabled but there is no package there to apt-get

            When I extract I get an install file but I can't figure out how to actually get it to install...

            I know I haven't provided much info.. but there's got to be someone else using Adobe Reader with Feisty.... that can explain how to install it.

            Thanks,
            Kev

              This install works fabulously
