To make a sector-by-sector copy of a CD:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/temp.iso bs=32k
cdrecord dev=DEVICE speed=SPEED /tmp/temp.iso
...modify DEVICE to point to your CD-RW, and SPEED to the speed your
CD-RW burns at, of course. This is the simplest way there is.
To make a bootable CD from a collection of files, you need a bootable
floppy disk image. You pass the name of that image to mkisofs after the
-b option, and you use the -c option as well. Check the man page for
details, or do as the other poster suggested and look on freshmeat.net
for various CD-writing tools.

How can I send a page to a mobilecomm pager from a korn shell script??
I have tried calling a perl script that I found on the internet called
mpage.pl and this works fine from my home computers, which get there
internet access via Windows 2000 Internet Connection sharing.
When I run this same scenario from my Linux machine at work, it fail
complaining that it could not open a socket. I think this has something to
do with the firewalls in my work environment, but I don't know much about
that sort of thing. Can someone suggest ways to do what I am attempting to
accomplish.
I have included the source of the perl script in case some can tell me what
to change to get pass my firewalls at work.

Yep, I can see how you're unhappy about all that.
Perhaps I've overlooked it, but I'm surprised that nobody's told you how to
fix it. Every response I've seen so far has said something to the effect
of "That shouldn't have happend" or "Next time, try..."
Here's how to do it:
Somewhere, somehow, you've got to get a boot disk for Win98. Beware --
There are different versions of Win98, and you have to get a disk that
matches your version. Lots of times, you can do this by booting from your
Win98 installation CD. Other times, create a floppy on another computer by
using the Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Startup Disk.
Boot from the Win98 disk, and get to a command prompt. Type in the command:
A:\> sys c:
If all goes well, it will say "system transfered."
Then, reboot, and if you got the right version of Win98 startup disk,
you're golden.
If you got the wrong version, all bets are off. Maybe it works, maybe not.
Maybe stable, maybe not. You just don't know.
Special note:
fdisk /mbr doesn't make a drive bootable; it zeros the mbr. You were on
the right track, trying to rewrite the mbr with win98, but you just tried
the wrong command.

Whoops!
fdisk /mbr will get rid of lilo for you, but it won't restore Win98. fdisk
/mbr zeros the mbr.
The correct command is
sys c:
This copies the system files, and overwrites the mbr too.
