k3b uses the command line cdrecord tool that does the real
burning. Here is the depends list for my version of k3b:

To the original poster: your program may be able to clone a data
cd/dvd if you provide it with an image file yourself. No touchy-feely
GUI interface, but there you go. :) Insert the cd you want copied. On
the command line type

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=imagefile.iso

where imagefile.iso should be on a partition where you have enough
free space to store a cd image. 700 MB should usually do it. See `man
dd' for more info. Now you should be able to burn that image file to a
blank cd with your tool. If it can't handle image files, you may need
to just copy the contents of the original cd/dvd to a new folder and
burn that one.
