To direct copy a data cd, you want something like: cdrecord -v speed=whatever dev=00,00,00 driveropts=burnproof -isosize /dev/hdc (This is well documented in the CD-Writing-HOWTO) To direct copy audio cd's you'll need cdrdao (http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/) I think. It's something I keep meaning to try when I get around to it.
