Hi guys,
i new to linux and i like to expose more of it. Therefore i'm using the more troublesome way to install the adobe reader.

I have download the source file for adobe reader. I have unpack it and inside there are these files

chongming@DellCM:~/Desktop/AdobeReader> ls -l
total 119828
-rw-r--r-- 1 chongming users  13414400 2007-08-21 06:29 COMMON.TAR
-rw-r--r-- 1 chongming users 109035520 2007-08-21 06:29 ILINXR.TAR
-rwxr-xr-x 1 chongming users     24717 2007-08-21 06:28 INSTALL
-rw-r--r-- 1 chongming users     72990 2007-08-21 06:28 ReadMe.htm

Reading from the htm file, it says run the install script. I tried typing make INSTALL but it cannot cont.
What commands do i need to type?

Thanks

In this case this is not a make it is an install.

sh INSTALL

should run the installation script. Most propritary software uses install scripts rather then make files. Of course this is not an aboslute rule and you should always read the instructions from the site or maybe the ReadMe.htm file. THere maybe more option you need to apply.
