If this is possible, then I should modify the instructions so the Adobe repo is only enabled after the first yum install command. Anyone know?)

* [[User:Robatino|robatino]] - I checked that in 64-bit F14 and Rawhide, with the Adobe repo enabled, the first command doesn't pull in Adobe Reader. That doesn't prove that it ''can't'' happen, though, so would still like to hear from anyone who knows for sure.
* [[User:Robatino|robatino]] - I tried enabling the Adobe repo in 64-bit Fedora 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and Rawhide, then running the first command. It never pulled in Adobe Reader. That doesn't prove that it ''can't'' happen (say, with a different set of  packages either installed or in the repos), though, so would still like to hear from anyone who knows for sure.
