Copying a CD

[tiw]

If i have two cd drives, how can i burn data of cd 1 onto blank cd 2 in cd-rw. I am using mkisofs and cdrecorder. The only thing i have thought of yet is to copy the contents on cd 1 to hard drive, then make a iso of those files then burn. any suggestions?

You would use cdrecord like so: 'cdrecord -v dev=3,0 speed=2 -isosize /dev/cdrom'
This command would read the data stream from the cd-rom attached as /dev/cdrom and write it directly to the cd-writer attached as the SCSI-device with ID 3. Be aware that any errors while reading the original CD (re: dust,scratches,etc.) will result in a defective burn.
