+           <para>If you want to make a bit-by-bit copy of a CD (so you
+             can, for example, duplicate it with a CD burner), use
+             &man.dd.1;.  The example given here assumes that you have
+             a IDE CDROM device that shows up as
+             <devicename>acd0</devicename>.  If you have a SCSI CD
+             drive, you will want to substitute the correct device
+             name.</para>
