Fwd: need help w linux issue Mark Gilmore Thu, 20 Sep 2007 11:30:43 -0400

more info:
when i inspect the usb disk properties (via the desktop), it says 
that it's "mount options" are "rw nosuid nodev noexec".
so while this would explain why i can't run pgms on the disk, it 
directly contradicts the "ls" listing which clearly shows
that the pgms and all parent directories *do* have read/execute access.
???

any idea where i can change these default "mounting options" ?
