Sorry, for this I have no clue what to do.
But it could also be possible that CDROM's are mounted, without the permission
to
execute programms on that filesystem ( mount ... -o noexec ). With this option
it is not possible to execute programs on that filesystem, but I don't know the
defaults on RedHat Linux 9.0.

When you name the installer.py simple installer, set the executeable-Right's and
insert the following line on the first one:
#!/usr/bin/env python
This will lookup the Interperter python on the system und run the File with
this.
An other possible solution could be that, you create a Shell-Script which
start's itself
the python-Process with the executeable-Rights set.
------
#!/usr/bin/env bash
dirName=`dirname $0`
PYTHON=`which python`
if [[ -z $PYTHON ]]; then
echo " No Python-Interperter found"
else
$PYTHON $dirName/installer.py
fi
-------
Here you can also insert some other error-checking.
