I have a small problem that is driving me mad.

With previous version of RedHat I have had no problems running programs on
my CD-ROM, however with my latest installation (RedHat version 4 - Colgate)
I am unable to execute programs on the CD-ROM.

The drive is mounted exec in fstab and I have also forces exec using
mount -tiso9660 -oexec /dev/sbpcd0 /mnt/cdrom
however it doesn't work.

The system responds with the error message "can't execvp"


Any assistance gratefully received
