That is real easy. After a perfect rpm -i Adobe--- you find two places 
in Applications -> Office to click on this application. I clicked one 
and then the other and waited. Nothing. I did a ps -A and found the 
kernel knew about two Acrobat starts. But nothing on the screen at all.

Like I said, it doesn't run on FC6.

I hope not too. It might be simple.

It's what comes up when you click on a .pdf file. I have not figured out 
yet where it lives. I can't find it. But it is NOT Acrobat.

Again Chris, I have been able to use Acrobat on EVERY linux but FC6 so far.
