So maybe these folks need to be educated that evince is just as good and can now fill-in forms. Although it maybe that folks tried evince and found something lacking which lead to them installing acroread. I have using evince for a while and I have no need for acroread since I started using it, so that is just my experience. Is there somewhere in the -edu install, notes, etc. to tell folks 'you don't need acroread'? -K -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal |mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/| | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net | my NPO: cfsg.org | |join the new debian-community.org to help Debian! | |_______ Unless I ask to be CCd, assume I am subscribed _______|
