Some comments on using XCdroast in Mandrake 8.2, I don't think it has 
been reported anywhere else:

Mandrake uses supermount as default in fstab which is great but it also 
causes some problems.  For example, it does not allow me to install MS 
Office under Codeweavers' Crossover (couldn't find the cdrom drive).  I 
had to manually umount the cdrom drive (i.e., unmounted it as a 
supermount), then mount it with the regular -t iso9660 -o -ro options.

With regard to XCdroast, in order to make it work under Mandrake, I had 
to go to "Mandrake Control Center", "Mount Point", then mount Cdburner 
as scd0.  Voila!

Once I was successful in doing that, I then did the same thing for my 
other Cdrom, mounted it as scd1.  Everything works great.  I can now 
duplicate CDROMS on the fly.
