I use Acrobat Reader 8 on my Slackware Linux 12.0 system with Firefox 
as the browser.  The main page comes up but when I click on e.g., 
Manuals or Examples I get a File Not Found error. 

I experimented with Konqueror and Kpdf as the viewer.  That seems to 
work, but slowly because of the download time.  

Il try to switch Firefox to Kpdf to see if that will work.
