OK, it is easier on a Mac.

There is an rpm for Acrobat Reader 5.07 for Linux from Gurulabs.

We had the following problem on the computer:2 hard drives (hda and hdb).hda contains the MBR (master boot record) and a Windows 2000 install on the first partition.

I switched to Suse 9.

If you want to execute a command with root privileges, you normally use the command "sudo".

Today I created a self-extracting, compressed file from a pdf document (disclosure.pdf).

I have two hard drives and the partitioning is as follows:hda1 120 GB/dev/hda1 100 MB Linux ext3 /boot/dev/hda2 95 GB Linux ext3 /home/dev/hda3 1 GB Linux swap/dev/hdb4 Extended partition/dev/hdb5 17 GB Linux /hdb1 32 GB/dev/hdb1 100 MB Linux ext3 /boot/dev/hdb2 1 GB Linux swap/dev/hdb3 Extended partition/dev/hdb4 12 GB NTFS Windows2000/dev/hdb5 18 GB Linux reiserfsBoth boot partitions had grub installed (there used to be an old Linux Red Hat 7 install on hdb1).

The files that specify the different folders and buttons of the Gnome user interface are somehow really badly distributed all over the place.

In order to search a specific directory (path_to_directory) and all its subdirectories r for recursive) for files that contain a specific text string, use the following command:grep -r "textstring" path_to_directoryAlso very useful is to pipe the output of another process into grep.
