install something
I found these instructions on installing someting on a linux machine, that says to install this program, all you have to do is run the install script. How do I do that?

something... this program...
Details there buddy!
Usually the install script would be a file called install.sh or just install, and to run it you would type:
./install
OR
./install.sh
Cool

What program are you trying to install ?
Without any more information this is all I can tell you, at a prompt:
sh install.sh
or
./install

I'm installing adobe reader. I went to the .gnome-directory (where the INSTALL file is) and typed ./INSTALL and it worked, but now there's this license agreement that I have to hold the Enter button to get through, cause it has a more (30%) thing at the end, is there a faster way around that other than holding down the enter button?

Then you can scroll quickly through it
I don't know, have you tried a page down or "end"?
