I found http://www.geocities.com/cddoit

This is a bash script used in combination with cdrecord (about 1M of 
source code, but maybe SW71 has it precompiled) for copying CDs, and 
cdparanoia if you want to rip CDs.  mkisofs is also needed.

I have two free DOS cd burning programs (cdrecord and cdroast?).

I also found a lot of links to linux cd software at
http://sound.condorow.net/cd.html

There is also create-a-cd (1M source code).

Can the BL2 kernel be used to copy CDs?  I know you need bare.i for sound 
support.

This got a giggle out of my resident programmer.  He just fixed his Win98 
computer with logo=0.  Maybe banner=0 would also work.  Thanks.
