Hi,
my son learns programming with Scratch and the manuals are PDF documents. Is there a way to view this documents with the Debian "squeeze" distribution?
Thanks for our help!

I think it comes with evince too.
So might also be worth trying
evince yourfilename.pdf
(making sure the working directory is where the file is).

For anyone that finds Debian a little difficult, the command to install the PDF reader is:
sudo apt-get install xpdf
This is well worth installing.
sudo apt-get install xpdf
This is well worth installing.

Re: PDF Viewer available for Debian "squeeze"?
At present the xpdf reader does not install.
sudo apt-get install xpdf
works but during the install process a 404 error is encountered when attempting to find the package at http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/... etc etc.
Don't even know who to contact about getting this back up and running.
Might be an issue with the Australian mirror only.

Re: PDF Viewer available for Debian "squeeze"?

sudo apt-get update
first to update the local package index with the latest changes made in repositories.
