Thanks to all who responded. I started out looking for acroread but
missed it in pkgsrc, hence my post. The box is an i386, and yes, I forgot
to mention that. Not a sharp day for me, I guess. I'm downloading all
the SuSE stuff and trust that once my feeble modem is done with the
dependencies I'll be off and running.
Thanks for being there.
