The stand-alone Adobe Reader will work fine under a 64-bit system, since it emulates a 32 bit environment as needed. If you're running 64-bit browser, then I think the 32-bit plug-in supplied with the reader package won't work and you will not be able to view PDF files within the browser. To my knowledge, there's no 64-bit plug-in from Adobe, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
That I can manage: I will just have to open the reader from the menu. A drag, but (yet another) consequence of 'upgrading'.
You won't have to if you use firefox, since the firefox in the x86_64 distro is actually 32 bit, so it can handle all the 32 bit plugins
However, just as I predicted, things always go awry with upgrades. I download with Konqueror and, right at the end, Konqueror invokes Yast which asks me if I want to install, so I click 'install'. Yast opens up with nothing in the window. That is, I think Yast has gone walk-about. No worries, I can install the rpm. Not on your Nellie: the rpm file has been deleted by Yast. Three times I tried it and 38MB is not quick to download. Any ideas on how to down load the rpm without Yast grabbing and disposing of it?
Delete the file /opt/kde3/share/services/krpmview.desktop (or uninstall kdebase3-SuSE, but then you'll lose other things as well)
Nope. Sorry, but it didn't help: during the download the directory showed the file with the extension ...rpm.part until the last second and then the download window vanished and so did the file. (As you implied, Yast did not start.)
Now you understand why I hate this round-about and wanted to get away from M$?
The big difference isn't what's in the defaults. It's how easy it is to get away from them
All I want to do is read a document! Regards, Colin
