The easiest way (I use this and it works) is to:
1. Put the CD to be duped into the drive.
2. Make an image:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/opt/cd.img bs=8092
This will spit a couple of errors at the end of the CD - but it doesn't
matter. From here you can write the image to another CD using CDRecord or
similar, or mount it via the loopback interface:
losetup /dev/loop0 /opt/cd.img
mount -t iso9660 /dev/loop0 /mnt/cdrom
Note - remember to remove the loopback interface when it is not required:
umount /mnt/cdrom
losetup -d /dev/loop0
Cheers
Jason.
