so,

how can i change .bin file to .dsl so that i dont have to install the file, instead i can use mydsl on runtime to install to specific directory /opt ..

i need that to install jdk1.6 and netbeans 5.0 on dsl on the fly, not manually.

also later on to install mono.bin.

peace.

Aren't .bin's self executables?  Grab the extracted files and you should be able to make the extension...

Usually finding where it temporarily extracts itself is easier if you don't know where they are located upon install.

ok,

im using jdk1.6.bin and netbeans.tar.bz2 and i extract them into /opt. and get 2 folders /opt/netbeans /opt/jdk1.6/ ..

i want to create .tar.gz or .dsl from those extracted folders so that i can place them in mydsl folder in my harddrive so that when i boot dsl and say dsl toram restore=hda1 then i will grap those 2 and install them to /opt.

that way i dont have to keep doing it over and over manually. i.e copy .bin to /opt extract and so on.

any suggestions  or hints on how to do that?

peace
