Most likely the .bin file itself is an installer. You just run it and it
will start the installation. For example, staroffice and acrobat reader
use .bin as an installer.

Two possibilites (both in the affected tty):
1) reset (the command, not the button)
2) more the same file until the status line looks like it's in normal

Greetings,
In mandrake, when you want to see a file and it's in binary form..it warns
you about it and asks if you still want to see it. but in debian, it just
automatically shows it then you can no longer read anything on that console
and thus rendering that console useless until you reboot.
