Hello
Due to the licensing restrictions on Acrobat Reader you have to download the bin file directly from their site. It is 43.3MB. Choose adobe reader , then download the .bin file directly to your home directory
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Next, now make the .Bin file executable
Code:
chmod u+x AdbeRdr9.1.0-1_i486linux_enu.bin
now run the installation by the command
Code:
./AdbeRdr9.1.0-1_i486linux_enu.bin
Extracting files, please wait. (This may take a while depending on the configuration of your machine)
This installation requires 144 MB of free disk space.
Enter installation directory for Adobe Reader 9.1.0 [/opt] adobe
I chose
Code:
/home/myth/Desktop/
Do you want to create it now? [y] y Here answer yes y
