Well, if you're looking to just make images (copies) from the CDs, I believe
that readcd should work.  (it comes with the cdrecord package)

It depends on what you're doing with them.  Are you creating a personalized
installation set?

Hmmmmm... this isn't something I've attempted, but I'm _thinking_ that you
should be able to use the loopback device to mount the images made by
readcd.  

I hope I haven't thrown you too far off track.  =0)
