[newbie] Acrobat Reader

[Dennis Myers]

I have Acrobat Reader on my 3rd CD of the Linux-Mandrake Complete set,
MacMillan Distribution. Only when I go to the tar.gz file on the disk to
install it it won't give me permission as root even.  So, has anybody
had this problem and how do I instal AR so I can read the e-books on my
CD#3. I want to get educated here and can't even open the cover of the
danged book.   Thanks, Dennis
