OK, I did all this.  It worked OK but it didn't install acroread....  So 
then I seached the web and it seemed to say that maybe there isn't a version 
of acroread for and AMD64 box (which I am using).

There is some chroot trick that can get the i386 deb file to work.

Perhaps the tarball had no chance after all.

But maybe I still have to little faith and I have been reading old web pages 
and there IS an amd64 acroread deb file after all....


Comments appreciated.

Michael
