* User app running *
When you use howto * User app installation *, you should be able to
start apps from your CD-ROM directly.
First you have to mount your cdrom device to directory.
When you dont know, which device it actually is, use command: fdisk
There is list of connected ATA block devices like HDDs or CD-ROMs.
When it is cdrom device, you should see in list filesystem "isofs",
right after partition name, you want to mount (e.g. /dev/hdc0 : isofs).
Now you can use command like: mount /dev/hdc0 /mnt/cdrom
and when no error occured, just go to directory /mnt/cdrom by
command: cd /mnt/cdrom
Now you are able to start it by command: exec yourapp
