[ltp] [OT] Using Adobe Reader 5.0.8 under RH9

[James McKenzie]

Listers:

Found the fix on the mozilla-doc site which shows how to install it.  
The key was to edit the acroread file in the /opt/local/Acrobat5/bin.  I 
had to add the following two lines:

LANG=en_US
export LANG

This sets the language to American English.

Thought that I would pass this on.
