I will try this option. The "bs" thing sounds right ;-) Though I feel
it's a bad thing not to be able to duplicate a cdrom in an easy way.
I'll check out cdrdao (mentioned elsewhere) too. I know I can mount the
cdrom and use mkisofs, but that will not work for bootable CD's. I just
want to duplicate some bootable CD's in an easy way. So I guess I check
out cdrdao and that kde prog.
