May the Lord Our God bless you Olf.Liungman.
First of all I want to thank you for your grate desire to help me. And
yes I did try that command but it did not work. But last nigh ,the Lord
had mercy on me,by allowing me to see exactly where the problem was ,it
wasn't the commands or what I did ,it was with the cdrom disk that didn't
have the program "linux-acrobat40.And since I purchase before another
version of linux cd's(Caldera) I tried the 3rd cd that it says that
include acroreader and it worked. Praise the Lord !,what a relief !
After that ,I manege to put the icon for the application on the desktop
but it doesn't execute the program ,do you have any input in that?
And for the rest of the newbies,when you face this type of situations
make sure that the program is really in the cd disk ,that way you don't
have to go trough so much anguish,and headaches.And thinking aloud,I just
wonder if this cd/'s are inspected before they rich the consumers.
Thanks again to all and Blessings.
Carlos.
