Dear debian and linux enthusiasts,
Have you ever stopped and wondered:
Are `/usr/bin/[` and `/usr/bin/test` truly unique across all unices?
interesting question (and observation below). I can't say I ever really
cared, and I'm not even sure now

Floppy disk images, as well. If it's a floppy image, then
dd if=/path/to/file.bin of=/dev/floppy/0 should work for devfs folks,
or dd if=/path/to/fi
make sure it has executable permissions ie, $chmod +x filename.bin
and then
$sh filename.bin
or just
$./filename.bin ( that is dot slash)

will start the installation. For example, staroffice and acrobat reader
use .bin as an installer.

David,
.bin is usually the Macintosh binhex archiving format. Might need to make
sure you pulled down the right file if you downloaded it?
