Install went fine, but when I invoke acroread it shows me a license screen, no visible button to accept the license and continue. <Esc> aborts. Debian potato, kernel 2.2.19, IceWM 1.01. 

However I've had this problem with Acrobat Reader 4 on several platforms, different combinations of distro, kernel, WM. 

The license window is too big for the screen, BTW, but I've managed to maniuplate it and still can't find an accept button. 

One one occasion I pressed a random assortment of keys and eventually <Esc>, which this time took me to the reader (works fine) instead of back to the command line. I have no idea which key was the magic one.
