It's a "self extracting archive" if you will. It will need to be
executed to run. Just change the permissions to allow that, then run it.

#> chmod 755 xxx.yyy.rpm.bin
#> ./xxx.yyy.rpm.bin

That should result in either the .rpm file being "extracted", and
dropped on your hard drive, OR, it will just install it for you. I'm
personaly not a huge fan of these things, but a few places are packaging
them this way.

Hope that helps.
