I would reccomend using noexec to mount CDs normally, so yes do add
noexec to /etc/fstab's entry for /dev/cdrom. This improves security.

However, for this _specific_ case (network install from DVD) you want
noexec _disabled_. The mount command I listed will leave it disabled.

Not enabling "noexec" will do no harm, and may avoid confusion like this
in the future. However, imagine running a real nasty off a CD by
accident... (OK perhaps I'm being paranoid).
