I'm surprised you had to install it, or anything to read a PDF
file.
As far as I was aware, a PDF file reader gets installed by default.
So any attempts to read a PDF file would open that, automatically.
For most things, it's fine. Sometimes you'll come across some
difficult PDF file that needs some other reader to handle it.
It's not hard to find PDF readers. All you have to do is a yum
search using pdf as the keyword, either a command line or GUI yum
tool, and it lists things related to PDF files. Some of which will
be readers. All you have to do is read the descriptions, and use
your judgement.
With Gnome, Evince seems to get installed by default. I suspect KDE
has another default.
Usually when i make an installation i install everything , and that´s why
i miss the everything button that there was once there , so i didn´t
have to
run through and select individual packages . You are right i didn´t had
to install
anything , everything was there but i didn´t knew that Evince was there and
could open a pdf file so i asked .
