The reason for not doing this is if you want to move the contents of the
cd to a Hard drive somewhere for use in an NFS install... suddenly
having all the files with executable permissions is messy (I know I am
being picky here... but I don't like the idea of someone accidentally
running an executable README...)

On a slight aside... does anyone know where I can get an rpm of the
newly released 2.0.36 kernel so I can add it to my next cd build...?

Cheers
