Installing Acrobat Reader

[Frederic on ImediatiX <frederic durodie wanadoo fr>]

Hi;

I'm trying to learn about linux and how to use it. Please direct me to a
better suited list for beginners if you think I ask too basic questions.
Thanks.

I downloaded Acrobat Reader 5 for Linux and installed it : i.e. I ran
the INSTALL script (under root). I did this because I couldn't open
VMware PDFs with the default RH9 application 'ggv'. Now how do I 

- launch acrobat

- tell my system to use Acrobat reader as default application for PDFs ?

Thanks.
Kind regards,
Frederic
