Can't Run Executable Files on DVD - fstab issue?

[Herta Van den Eynde]

Hi Dave,

"bad interpreter: Permission denied" can be the result of a number of
causes.

What does the command "mount" return for your dvd drive?
What is the permission on the files you're trying to execute? ('ls -l' +
'id' from the process from which you are trying to run the executables)
What does 'ls  /bin/sh' return?
When you "vi -b" the file, do the lines terminate with "^M"?
What does "lsattr" of the file return?

Kind regards,

Herta

Can you tell us more about the way the dvd was created?
