/usr/bin/acroread is just going to be a symlink to 
/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin/acroread, which you can create yourself 
if your install process didn't do this (as root):
ln -s /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin/acroread /usr/bin/acroread

Note that the name for the link you're creating comes /after/ the real 
file it points to.

Another note is that, if you have and are using slocate to try to find 
acroread that you have just installed, you would need to run 'updatedb' 
as root to be able to find it.
