[plug] excuting from a mounted cd / cheap 100MB enet cards

[David Griffiths]

What's the trick to run executables from a mounted cd?
All the exe permissions are on, including parent dir, user, group and world
running as root eg

  cd /mnt/cdrom/x/y/z
  ./an_exe

returns

  bash: ./an_exe: Permission denied

Have had a quick look at pam config, can't see anything obvious that might be
holding it up.


ALSO:

Can anyone recommend a cheap (for home use) 100MB ethernet card
for use under linux available in Perth (or have a couple of second
hand spares for sale)?

Operation with bootnet.img kickstart installs would be a nice bonus


Thanks in advance,

Dave.
