Question CD Autorun for Linux


Just as there is autorun.inf used in Windows, which contain:
[open]=setup.exe
[icon]=setup.exe,0


BUT if the CD is used in LINUX, there is no icon. WHY?

Please help me in Creating Autorun file for Linux, Such that CD should contain icon530.ico as Icon?

Do I have to put two Autorun Files in CD, so that it shows Icon, in both Windows & also in linux?

IN SHORT:-
How to create an Autorun File in LINUX?

Default Re: CD Autorun for Linux

i think there's no current "standard" implementation of autorun feature in linux distros

so you'll have to do without that

Default Re: CD Autorun for Linux

NO Autorun in Linux.How can .exe autorun work in Linux.but u can make it default to open file manager when a cd/dvd is mounted.ur distro automount CD/DVDs.
YOu can make a script that autorun if mounted on Linux systems which will open a html page containing what the CD offers
but below link is interesting too:
