Hmm, almost certainly not... looking at the downloads for other platforms,
it seems like the 'full' version is around 40MB (same as for Linux), but
the 'basic' version is typically around 10MB (whilst the Linux basic
version is *still* 40MB)

Looks like a faulty link prob and someone's pointed the Linux basic
version at the wrong file... not sure what my chances of reaching a human
being at Adobe to query the problem are though!

Mind you, I just tried selecting dial-up as the connection; this *only*
offers the basic version - but still says it's 37MB. I wonder if someone
found a serious bug in the basic version and it's been taken offline until
it's fixed (would be nice if it said so on the website if that's the case!)

At least v. 5.0 is still available via their site, so I think I'll just do
that... clone on 40MB for a PDf reader is a little too bloated for my
tastes! :-)

cheers
