On the RH5.0 CD is the acrobat reader for viewing the .pdf files that come
with the package.  Redhat included an insert in the box with the following
steps:

[...]

4. cp acroread_linux_30.tar.gz /root/read
(this assumes you want the files in the /root/read directory.)

5. Change to the proper directory on your hard driver:
cd /root/read

6. Un-gzip (uncompress) the file:
gunzip acroread_linux_30.tar.gz
This will create a new file named acroread_linux_30.tar

7. Complete the uncompression by un-tarring the file:
tar xvf acroread_linux_30.tar

Couple of problems.  My RH CD does not have the file acroread_linux_30.tar.gz
but has instead acroread.tar.  The obvious assumption is I can copy this to
whatever directory I want to install in and simply un-tar the file: tar xvf
acroread.tar.  However, this command returns some error messages and
ultimately indicates that the file is not a valid tar archive.

Anyone else run into this problem and have a solution for it??

Thanks
