   The .bin package is the default offering. If you click on the link for   
   "Other Languages and Operating Systems," it'll take you to a page where   
   you can select an rpm.   
      
   I haven't had anything to do with Mandriva 2011, but IIRC acroread   
   wasn't offered in the 2010.x or 2009.x versions. Mageia doesn't offer   
   it, either. My guess would be licensing issues. So, it could be a very   
   long wait before 2011 updates acroread...
