    permission denied running a.out from sda

    as the title says, if i compile code on my flash drive (sda1) and attempt to run it (even with chmod 777) i have to copy it to my hda1 and compile to run it. (dont know if copying the a.out to hda1 will allow it to run or not)

    I believe Linux/Unix will not not let executables run on removable drives...its a security issue...I don't know this for certain but I think I read it somewhere...hope this helps...
