The canonical answer from the handbook is
Duplicating Data CDs
You can copy a data CD to a image file that is functionally
equivalent to the image file created with sysutils/mkisofs, and
you can use it to duplicate any data CD. The example given here
assumes that your CDROM device is acd0. Substitute your correct
CDROM device. A c must be appended to the end of the device name
to indicate the entire partition or, in the case of CDROMs, the
entire disc.
# dd if=/dev/acd0c of=file.iso bs=2048
Now that you have an image, you can burn it to CD as described above.
