In response to "Brent Russell" <rbrussell@gmail.com>: > I need to install xPDF on a shared server at ipower. I am completely new to > this, and do not understand the command lines.

I dont know where to issue commands, etc. While I can't speak for everyone, my first question would be: can you please describe the problem a little better? What have you tried? What happened when you tried those things. I'm unclear as to exactly where you're having trouble. Also, it's poor form to cross-post (post to multiple lists at once) and questions@ and freebsd-questions@ are the same list. > > 6.4.3 Xpdf > > If you want a small FreeBSD PDF viewer, *Xpdf* is a light-weight and > efficient viewer.
