.bin...tar.gz??
 

Hi can anyone explain to me in detail how to extract and then install these files.....thx

For tar use the following;

tar zxvf myfile.tar.gz

the switches here;
z - unzips the file (that's what the .gz tells you)
x - extract the tar archive
v - verbose. All the files and paths are shown as they are extracted.
f - tells tar to act upon the following filename.

As for .bin files... I've not come across many. If I recall correctly they are self extracting so you'd make it executable and call it via ./myfile.bin

I'd get confirmation from someone else here before trying that though...
