I don't have a K12LTSP 5.0 server to check what package you  
installed, but I also think you didn't understand me completely.  
Everything from ln -s to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ is one command and  
is not something that can be 'not there'. That command symlinks the  
nppdf.so file from the Adobe Reader package into Mozilla's plugin  
directory so your webbrowser can use it. I'm guessing that the  
nppdf.so file is not in the same location I posted in this example  
command. Maybe someone who has a K12LTSP 5.0 server at hand can tell  
you where to find th nppdf.so file. Or you can use find (or locate  
after running updatedb) to locate the nppdf.so file. If you know the  
package name you can use "rpm -ql <packagename> | grep nppdf.so" to  
find the location.
