You just need to go in the installation directory, then in the Plugins subdirectory and remove EVERYTHING BUT these 3 files
On my Gentoo box, that's in "/opt/Acrobat7/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins", and it's only two files:
ewh.api
SearchFind.api
Great tip, starts much faster now.. I'm guessing AcroForm.api is needed for forms, but haven't checked. Seems to work fine for the few pdf's I tried it on though.
I mean are [you?] really arguing that Dell is today a premium vendor?
Pretty much, yeah. I think there's a big difference between corporate Dell, and consumer Dell. That was basically my point. Corporate Dell has been very good to me. I've never dealt with consumer Dell though. (nor would I want to)
Rs_Conqueror was suggesting that BSD would be better because it would make things easier. I'm just pointing out that most if not all of the applications in my account at school have native Linux versions available for them. Emulation does not make things easier. It only complicates things, and invalidates support contracts.
there's probably a lot fewer pieces of free software out there than there used to be)
Depends what you mean by free I guess.. There's tonnes of limited, but 0 cost software around, like opera, zoom player, avast, MSN, etc.. But tonnes more free software like Firefox, VLC, ClamWin, Gaim, etc. People seem to eventually learn the lesson that using the $0 stuff or better yet the free stuff is much better than dealing with trojaned cracks, and crippled apps. At least my friends do, but maybe that's because I fill their heads full of OSS propaganda. Stealing Windows is very common among them though. I don't harass them too much about that as long as they don't ask me to do it for them.
I wonder why Konq wanted to download something? Firefox didn't do that.
I wonder why the Gecko browsers don't draw vertical scroll bars, but allow you to scroll.. Or why Opera starts loading things as you move your mouse over different parts of the broken image. Its all pretty broken, which means its a great test I guess.
But you really can't `pirate' something that's given away from free.
That's assuming the average slashdotter is using Linux. Most use Windows, and probably the majority that aren't at work, have built their own PC, and pirated that copy of Windows.

Sorry to hear that. They have some great tools for for fixing problems.
> Gentoo is upto date because they don't wait for wierd arch's
No, Gentoo is up to date because it is a source distro. Its trivial to add support for a new platform in most cases. Or to just rebuild a package when one of its deps is updated and its ABI changes.
> thier update releases tend to be not as large as debians.
This is because update releases aren't the same as Debian releases. Gentoo releases have more to do with the version of the LiveCD and version of GCC, than anything else. When you upgrade from 2004.3 to 2005.0 for example, you change a symlink:
/etc/make.profile ->/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0
instead of /etc/make.profile ->/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2004.3
The packages are kept up to date, rather than getting stale, and upgrading once every 2 years.
But the only people I've ever seen complaining about spatial mode are geeks at places like Slashdot.
The users who spacial mode was intended for don't go to blog sites to bitch about it. They just bitch about it to their geeky friends and family, who come here to vent.
Given the number of geeks I've seen bitching and moaning about it, you could get to the top of Distrowatch in about a week that way.
I doubt its the geeks who actually have a problem with it. I just don't use Nautilus unless I want an image thumbnailer. I'm not about to teach bash parameter expansion to friends and family, even if it does make their file management much easier. It's having to tell them, "yes it sucks, I know" that I hate.
I don't see the problem with putting a 100MB partition for/boot on one of the drives.. It's a heck of a good idea anyway. Put grub, and your kernels on it. Put tomsrtbt on there too.
Thats fine, give people an option to hide those UI elements if they want. In browser mode (AKA: functional mode), you can turn off the sidebar, statusbar, and location bar, but not the menu, and toolbar. Why not make it the same interface, so in browser mode you can turn off the menu bar and toolbar, and put those items in the context menu? Or be able to turn them back on when in spacial mode? It makes no sense to have two different UI's to be able to browse files from within the same program. Give one UI, and make it remember the user's choices.
Doesn't it seem strange that the GTK+ File Chooser would be adding these things, as Nautilus removes them? Consistency would be very nice.
"let's people read instead of guessing..."
Ahhh, yes.. The buttons are confusing argument again. Buttons are not confusing. Packing 40 buttons on a toolbar with no text or tooltips is confusing. Gnome's toolbars default to icon & text for this reason. You take away all the buttons, and that is confusing.
folder? Guess what? It works that way in spatial mode, too! And if you need to go back "up" the filesystem hierarchy, the folders you've been in already are still open!
No. It doesn't. If I'm looking at/home/user/Desktop/somefolder, there's no easy way to get to/mnt/foo/bar. / isn't open, because it never was.
You also recognize that there's an easy and visible option in the Nautilus UI for changing to browser mode.
No, I don't. A easy and visible option, would be a button on the toolbar that says "Browser". Oh wait, no. The toolbar is gone, and that's supposed to be a good thing.
Edit -> Preferences -> Always open in browser windows. Now quit yer whining.
Bzzzzt.. The reason for spacial nautilus was apparently for the noobs. There should be sane default preferences for them. I've already gone into GConf a few versions back, when we were still arguing if users should actually get a spot on the preferences window. You forgot a step BTW... Edit -> Preferences -> Behaviour Tab -> Always open in browser windows.

I think I read right here on ./

It seems to be down at the moment.
Yeah you can take a screenshot of Safari
The problem isn't taking the screenshot. It's getting it to run in Linux.

Yes, freeBSD would ensure that the majority of their unix based programs would carry over well.
You can get Maple, and Matlab for BSD without Linux emulation? StarOffice even?
They produced a premium product. Today they are mainstream.
The Optiplex line has been very good to me. Maybe you are talking about the Precision, or Dimension products?
So it doesn't matter if I steal a pencil or a car, its the same crime?
No. You're a thief either way. The crime is different.

Lots of /.ers who use Windows probably also bought the computer with it preinstalled.
Sure.. But I still think most geeks prefer to build their own.
I seriously doubt that the majority pirates *everything*.
I don't think it matters if you steal a little bit, or steal a lot. You'd be a thief either way.

Back and Forth make no sense when you travel a directory tree
Openning a new window every time makes much less sense. Back and forward buttons are familiar because of the web browser.
Seems to work in Hoary.
Sometimes it does.. Other times it stops working, and consumes 100% cpu usage, and needs to be restarted.
Back and forward have no meaning in the spatial mode.
That's a big problem with the spatial mode.
Reload isn't used often enough in a file manager to have it in the toolbar.
Reload shouldn't be used so often. A better solution would be making fam work properly after all these years.
The button on the statusbar... Is badly placed. Whats wrong with consistency?
As someone who lives 15 minutes away from the National Microbial Laboratory, I hope not.
BTW, I'm really surprised that this story didn't get more attention.
But the only people I've ever seen complaining about spatial mode are geeks at places like Slashdot.

Err... Lose /boot I mean. ;)
or you're going to really find youself SOL when the primary drive fails
/boot.
SOL? Knoppix, any other LiveCD, or install CD with md support in its kernel will get you booted again if you loose
tell me wich buttons you use often
I don't use any of them. I don't use Nautilus. But the ones that should be there are back, forward, up, reload, and home.
Given the number of geeks I've seen bitching and moaning about it, you could get to the top of Distrowatch in about a week that way.

you can boot from a software RAID setup
/boot on one of the drives.. It's a heck of a good idea anyway. Put grub, and your kernels on it. Put tomsrtbt on there too.
I don't see the problem with putting a 100MB partition for

Now, what was your actual complaint again?
Spacial Nautilus sucks. Pay attention.
Navigate to it.
How? Meditation, and prayer?
