How to install rpm.bin file with rpm
[183 byte] By [FrankNatoli] at [2007-9-26 2:11:43] 
Have downloaded Java...rpm.bin for Linux. rpm doesn't recognize bin file. Can't find doc to explain what utility converts rpm.bin to simple rpm. What do I use? Thanks.
It took me some time to figure it out,
once you downloaded the j2sdk...rpm.bin file, it is a self installation file,
1) make sure the file is executable
#chmod 755 j2sdk1.4.0_01.rpm.bin
2) execute the file
#./j2sdk1.4.0_01.rpm.bin
this will install the package and inflate the rpm...
good luck.
