Installing Oracle 9i on Solaris 9 from CD - Why 'chmod' necessry?

Hi,



We'd been trying to install Oracle 9i on a Solaris 9 machine from CD,
and were finally able to get it working.  However, one thing that we
found (that wasn't in the info that we had) was that, as root, we had to
umount the cdrom drive, "chmod 777" the cdrom, then mount it again. 
Once we did that we were able to execute runInstaller ok.



If anyone knows, I'm kind of curious about exactly WHY the "chmod 777"
was necessary?



Thanks in advance,


Jim
