I rebooted with the CD in, and it worked :)  But when I installed
another CD the same old story.....Now I understand what the script does.

Why can I not change the system so that user grasshopper can use the CD?
I have to write a lot of reports, and I usually save my work on CD,
which is very convenient, as I can quickly pop in the CD and do whatever
I need to, save and exit.   Is that a 'fault' with Suse 10?

I'm sorry but I'm really confused about 'running a script' I saved the
file but, when I try to 'run' it from the terminal, I get this:

Password:
linux:/home/grasshopper # ./cd.sh
bash: ./cd.sh: Permission denied
linux:/home/grasshopper #

I am running as root.  Where did I go wrong.

Many thanks.
