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.
You need to make the CD executable.....add "exec" at the end of the cd definition in your /etc/fstab file. Fred -- Fred A. Miller, Systems Administrator Cornell Univ.
