Doug,
"cd /usr/share/doc/rutebook"
"gunzip rute.pdf.gz"
You don't have to type rute.pdf.gz but type "gunzip ruTab}" (Tab is the 
tab-key).
This will unzip rute.
Next see if you have the command acroread:
to do this type : "locate acroread"
This is the standard Adobe pdf-reader.
If it is available it normally is in a directory in your path.
Then, still in the directory rutebook type "acroread rute(Tab)" and  you 
can read the book.
If you don't have acroread you can use "evince rute.pdf"
If you want more information don't hesitate to ask.
