if you want to execute files directly from a CDROM, be sure that you have it mounted with the 'exec' option. i.e., your fstab entry should have 'exec' in the cdrom mount options, like: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user,exec 0 0 (the other options are my preferences, and are not needed for this to work...) -matt ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew Nelson Dynamics Technology, Inc. 21311 Hawthorne Blvd., Suite 300, Torrance, CA 90503-5610 Voice: (310) 543-5433 FAX: (310) 543-2117 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sun, 15 Oct 2000, Jimmie Brandon wrote: > I am runnug rh6.1.
