Re: Can not install acrobat reader

I downloaded Acrobat from here:

http://www.adobe.com/products/acroba...lversions.html

First, wrong file! *ubuntu is a Debian based Linux distribution, and as such, uses Debian packaged files (.deb). .rpm package files are for the Redhat Linux distribution.

The Adobe Reader package (acroread) for *ubuntu is available for installation in Adept Manager (K Menu | System | Adept Manager).
