My environment: Runs off a 486 box with Knoppix 5.1.1 installed on a 4 gig jump drive with a persistent image and swap file. Also have a 4 gig old hard drive attached used to store programs. Both attach via USB2 Ports I'm trying to create a path statement that will allow me to install and run Adobe Acrobat Reader from the hard drive. How is this accomplished.?

The print option will not work with my ethernet attached printer. If you can help me with this problem I will be happy to use the xpdf bin.
