Hi. If you have the cd with the e-books you do not have to
download anything. The Acrobat Reader is in a file called
linux-ar-40.tar.gz. Copy that file to /tmp then do
# tar xzvf linux-ar-40.tar.gz ... then go to the directory
it creates and run (as root) # ./INSTALL
The principle should be the same even if you downloaded the
tar file. Then when you want to read a pdf file you use the
command "acroread" followed by the name of the file.
(That is: open an xterm and type on the command line
"acroread thisfile.pdf")
