A not-so-known thing about FreeBSD:
I wanted to duplicate a disk, but couldn't for the life of me get it to work - how the H#&& do I get the SCSI-emulator to work, grrrr!!
Then I found burncd, worked right off the IDE, just like I would have done it.
".. just like I would have ... hmm, lets try .."
# cat /dev/acd0 >file.iso
YES! That is the way to duplicate a disk under FreeBSD:
You cat the CD and pipe it to the CD-R!
I became a _dedicated_ BSD fan after that :-)

-x, --exclude-path
every file or directory matching this string will not be included
-c, --change-path
old_path will be named new_path in CD-ROM. e.g.: -c /my_home/2004_Jan/ /home/bigpaul/. Thus /home/bigpaul/ will be named
/my_home/2004_Jan/ in CD-ROM.
