Sorry, this won't work. You need a special tool to write to cd's. To copy
the source cd you can either use cdda2wav or paranoia if it's a music cd
(aka 'red book'), mount mkisofs (do a man on this program for more info),
or use sdd (scsi dd) to do a bit-for-bit copy of the source. Note though,
that the last option does actually do a bit for bit copy, meaning even
things such as scratches will show up on the copy (the other tools would
normally fix these problems). Once you have an image of the disc you'd
like to copy, use cdrecord to burn the cd; the syntax wil be something
like "cdrecord -v dev=0,2,0 -eject speed=4 -audio *wav", just do a man on
cdrecord.
