Hi Mikkel,

You are quite right. The mount command shows:

<paste>
[root at athene setuptl]# mount | grep hda
/dev/hda on /media/TeXLive2007 type iso9660 
(ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=1000,utf8)
[root at athene setuptl]#
</paste>

So I need to find a way to have hda mounted with exec permission *by 
default*. So I don't have do a manual mount every time I insert a dvd or cd.

I found no such option in either ControlCenter or in gnome.

Do you have any idea how you can do that?

Guus.
