installing adobe reader 8.1.1 for slackware linux

since there is no Adobe Reader package (*.tgz) for Slackware, we have to compile it from source *.tar.gz

1. download the source at Adobe Reader Homepage

2. select the source and download it
Operating System: Linux
Select a version: Linux x86 (.tar.gz)
Select a language: English

3. once download finish, cd to the directory of downloaded file and issue:
tar -zxvf adobe-reader-version.tar.gz
e.g
$ tar -zxvf AdobeReader_enu-8.1.1-1.i486.tar.gz
AdobeReader/
AdobeReader/INSTALL
AdobeReader/ReadMe.htm
AdobeReader/COMMON.TAR
AdobeReader/ILINXR.TAR

4. cd to AdobeReader/ and run:
./install

5. once asked, specify where do you want Adobe Reader to be installed. By default, on Linux, Adobe Reader is installed in /opt/Adobe. But I choose mine on /usr/lib/adobe

6. cd to the installation path (e.g /opt/Adobe or /usr/lib/adobe) and run:
$ acroread
(or you may double click Adobe Reader icon at the Desktop)

7. I do have minor issue while installing the reader saying that Adobe Reader cannot find gtk library.
Error: "Unable to find the HTML rendering library (libgtkembedmoz)."

explanation from Adobe.com:
This happens if acroread was unable to find libgtkembedmoz.so and related component files on your system.
solution is here

what is libgtkembedmoz library for?
- This library is required for rendering HTML content in Adobe Reader.

since I got Mozilla Firefox installed, i just search for file name libgtkembedmoz and point Adobe Reader to its directory
$ locate libgtkembedmoz
/usr/lib/seamonkey-1.1.4/libgtkembedmoz.so

8. open Adobe Reader >> Edit >> Preferences >> Internet >> libgtkembedmoz Folder >> put in the directory (e.g /usr/lib/seamonkey-1.1.4/), click OK and you're done!

[22:26] .. I created the crontab as my user, should I create it as root?

[22:28] DigitallyBorn, no shouldn't be root unelss it needs to me
[22:28] user can create their own crontab
[22:29] yeah .. and I created it as a user
[22:29] if they are in cron.allow
[22:29] DigitallyBorn, the only things that should be run as root are things that must

[13:51] pcrack, I haven't tried, but I'm going to soon .. a lot of employees are abusing the Internet link with VoIP :/
[13:51] pcrack, I usually use Ethereal/Wireshark to sniff on the ports a certain application uses and which IP addresses it connects to (in case of server communication)
[13:52] god with a sniper rifle
[13:52] pcrack, I believe if you block the IP address of the Skype service server, it would solve your problem.
[13:52] ic...but its random..and sometimes is uses http and https...
[13:52] try to block it at the proxy...
[13:52] brb..need to go somewhere...
[13:52] Well, Skype is account-based .. so it has to connect to a server to login first
[13:52] Just block the IP of the authentication server

[14:07] NiXeR: zinhell, May I ask what are you trying to do? <---- i try to trunking between IP PBX Planet and PABX Panasonic (4-wire extension port)
[14:07] i mean keyphone Panasonic
[14:07] cause that's 4-wire
[14:08] Yeah, I figured after pcrack gave you the forum link
[14:08] yap :)
[14:08] My company is a Panasonic retailer .. so I was interested
[14:08] bingo !!
[14:09] do you know Panasonic A-series
[14:09] skype is a pain in the neck to sysadmins when it comes to blocking
[14:09] Routermen, only way to block it is to setup proxy's and control data, i've been trying for a long time to trafic shape skype traffic
[14:10] yup .. proxied every ports and control it from there
[14:11] zinhell, Don't private-msg me please .. I'm not into PBX .. I said my company is a panasonic retailer .. there are people who are specialized in that, not me.
[14:11] o ic
[14:11] :)
[14:11] there is also modules for iptables to enable it to check for strings in the packet for skype . but i never try it
[14:12] But since we're going to tie branches with VoIP .. I thought using Asterisk would be cool
[14:12] ic
[14:14] Most likely the managers are going to crusify me for suggesting that, since it will hurt the Panasonic PBX sales....

Of course you can redirect a browser. W browser reads a webpage, the webserver tells it to read "here" instead, and the browser is redirected.
that is url redirection technically not browsaer redirection
