+ <answer>
+ <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>
