Hello all,

I usually when get a program, get it in .rpm format, and just source it from shell to install, that's fine. Then, how can I install a program that i have other formats for it, say for my current case .bin file?

Thanks alot in advance,
Ahmad,
 

You can use file command to detect the file type:
file your_file.bin
If it reports the file is a ELF format, you can run it:
./your_file.bin

thank you Hughes,
but it needed to change its mode first to be execuable, by using a command like chmod +x <file_name> then sourcing it as you mentioned opened it ..

Ahmad,

If it is a cd file, you need nero to burn it using CDROM.
 

If it is a CD image, then you may also need the associated CUE file, because it sometimes contains special CD burning parameters.

The BIN/CUE format was originally created by GoldenHawk for CDRWIN.

If it is a CD image, you can convert it to ISO image and mount the ISO image with "-o loop" option. There is no need to burn the image.
