Neato.  This couldn't have been easier.  Here what you do:

1. mount the CD-ROM (we'll assume a mounted directory of /mnt/cdrom)
2. mkisofs -o cd.iso /mnt/cdrom

This creates a the file cd.iso in the current directory (now, grated, I've
tried to burn this to CD yet, but all signs point towards it will work).

It's that easy.

I love Linux. :)

Oh, if you're going to attempt to use xcdroast, get the lastest version from
www.xcdroast.org.  The version that ships with RH isn't the lastest and
greatest.
