Because of Windows-only CD that leads to all files being
executable?

I have a suggestion for that, because I've been dealing with
fixing a similar problem for a friend of mine.

I've been trying to use "mode=0644" as a mount option for iso9660
to fix the problem (mode= is "For non-Rock Ridge volumes, give
all files the indicated mode").

It exhausted one problem though: with dvd drives, we use "auto"
as the fs type, in /etc/fstab; my fix worked well when you put
cd's in your dvd drive, but when you put dvd's the udf filesystem
will exit with a failure because "mode=" is non supported.

I think the best solution would be to extend fstab syntax so that
in "auto" fs, we can specify options for only one fs, but I think
this is somewhat complicated and will introduce incompatibility
in a basic file such as /etc/fstab. So I've finally fixed my fix
by extending mount.c capability, adding the ability to silently
remove some options for some FS's (namely, mode= for udf).

What do people think?

Pixel do you think we can add mode=0644 for cd and dvd drives, in
the install, with the above mentioned addition in mount.c?
