Actually, I already tried directly editing the fstab file and the
/etc/pcmcia/cdrom.opts file to remove any incidence of "noexec".
Both with the same result upon acitvating the cdrom in Gnome and checking
"mount" afterwards: /dev/hdc on /cdrom type iso9660
(ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
Thanks, is there any other file I can dig into to avert this default?
