Mr. Andy-
I recently (last few weeks) installed 5.0.6 acrobat reader, both solaris and
linux boxen, and never had problems such as you seem to be experiencing. wonder
if you have a dot file (.acrobat or something) that is persisting and screwing
you up.
I note on my linux box that I have a ~/.acrobat directory, with one file, prefs.
Is it possible when you run acroread that it cannot make this dir and file and
so thinks this is a first time run for you each time?
I just ran acroread as root (who has never run this version of acroread b4) and
it came up with a license box with accept in the LLH corner and a cancel in the
LRH corner. I clicked accept and it worked fine. next invocation it came up w/o
the license agreement dialog. deleted the root/.acrobat dir and then invoking
acroread it came up with the license box again...
