Bad idea, this is where you broke the file. Move the .tar.gz file to
your Linux system and decompress it there.

.... geez, why didnt you just burn the *tar.gz itself to a CD,
then copy it down to the Linux box and install it?

Its documentation says yes and there are instructions. Since I don't like
reading PDFs in my Web browsers, even in Windows, I left it alone.

It looks like WinZip and/or Roxio's CD Creator messed up the formatting
in INSTALL script file. Now, the question is: Is there a way to fix this
problem without redownloading? Just curious.

Thank you in advance.

Yes, it is a shell script.

Yeah, but root had the same results. It was a bad copy since I extracted
and burned the files in Windows which messed up INSTALL's formatting.

Yep, I did that and it worked. That stinks that it happens. I wonder
if it is possible to fix this if I ever run into this problem. At least,
I learned something new.

Oh, I wanted to save time at office to decompress files than at home
(slow box).

Is the .gz file still around if not re-download it. I just downloaded both
the tar.gz and the rpm, both installed fine on my FC3 system. BTW thanks
for the URL, Adobe hasn't officially released this yet.

FYI to everyone. It is only a pre-release according to
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/w....4@.3bb8d962/3

It still pretty good. I'd rather use this one instead of the older version.
Yuck.

Why oh why not decompress the tarbol under Debian??? In other words
burn the tarbol to CDRW in windows, copy it over in Debian and go
from there...
