Hi Mike,

See the list, problem solved ! :-)

/bin/sh obviously does exist, the problem was just that it seems that by
default, Ubuntu does not allow to execute anything that's on a
removeable media (CD, floppy, ZIP etc...). 
So I just had to invoke the shell explicitely : "sh scriptname" instead
of just "./scriptname".
I can also specifiy the 'exec' option in fstab to give permanent
permission on the CD or whatever volume.

Thank you to all who educated me today ;-)

Vince, learning a little bit every day...
