[S.u.S.E. Linux] running programs from a cdrom
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. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
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:

Also, seeing mails, where you have a subject and header fields and no body? like the one below. ?? I printed a copy below in it's entirety. Have gotten quite a few like this. On Tue, 7 Jul 1998, C. J. Kenneth Tan wrote:

check the permissions on your cdrom, /dev/hdc if it's eide, /dev/s something if it's scsi: make sure /dev/cdrom is symlinked to the actual device, and try "chmod 666 /dev/cdrom" queegy wrote:

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.
