Check out the howto (which unfortunately doesn't seem to be in the
Mandrake 7.0 installation).
And the ansser is yes, that burns it.
To copy, you can just extract the bits with
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image-file
and then re-burn them with
cdrecord dev=0,0 speed=4 image-file
[In theory; haven't had a reason to do this yet myself.]
