Easy Dave. I was simply trying to figure out where the .bin came from,
which in turn came with a recommendation which I stand by that no one
should be using anything but operating supported packages (in this
case RPM, and assuming the package is available).
I think it is also important to make a distinction that it is not
a .Org distributed file, so "if" there is a problem we can point the
user in the right direction to get help. Which may or may not be on
this list.
