Coping form CD

Does anyone knows what to setup and how for my problem. When I copy file from cd to desktop for example, file keeps the permissiond=s and I get the unwritable emblem on the file. How to configure nautilus or what, so the file from cd get the permissions of the foled that is copied to (desktop for example). Im using GNOME 2.8 on Debian Sarge

Since you copied the files to your desktop, you are now the owner. Use 'chmod u+w' to the files to be able to write to them.

I need an automated solution for the problem. I'm doing that, but I want to make the system to do it for me

Okay, so write a script to automate the action. It would look a little something like this:

mount /dev/cdrom #mount cdrom, if not already mounted

cd /dev/cdrom #go to the cd's directory

cp * /some/folder/ #copy files to whatever directory

cd /some/folder/ #go to the files directory

chmod u+rw * #change permissions

Now, if you still need more automation, enter your created script into cron.
