Yes. There is a kernel module called cdfs. Find it on the Web and compile it and
copy it to /lib/modules/<kernel version>/fs.
It's easy to compile. You can do it. Just type make.
Once installed, you can mount a cd with
mount -t cdfs /dev/<cdrom device> <target>
Take a look in <target> and you will see all tracks of the cd as files. You can
copy them like files.
That's nice for copying cd images.
In addition, you can mount one of these files as a loop filesystem.
Then you have the same effect as mounting conventionelly, but can choose your
track.
