Go in to /etc/fstab and change the line for /cdrom to the following: /dev/hda /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 Then if you want more info, read 'man mount'. Regards, C. J. Tan On Tue, 7 Jul 1998, squeegy wrote:
Hello fellow SuSE users,
I replaced my RH5.0 this weekend with SuSE5.2 and yes my friends I am happy. One minor but annoying problem. I can't run programs from my cdrom. I can mount my cdrom drive and read any file on the cdrom, but when I try to execute a program like an install program, I get the below error. this is as a user or root. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
:/cdrom/2.0/disks > ./Install.elf bash: ./Install.elf: Permission denied :/cdrom/2.0/disks > ls -l -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 8077 May 15 1996 Install.elf
as you can see the above is executable by anyone.
