No good CD-Rom copy software

[Res]

or the better way is to rm the symlink and install cdrtools source into 
prefix /usr

a basic cdrecord -v filename   blows away the console with wodim
I'd rather use the age old and currently very actively supported cdrecord 
then the debian fork, which is horrid when trying to build on non debian 
systems, sadly apt-get remove wodim wants to take out half of my systems 
installed packaged, rather pathetic really, i guess RPM  has its 
advantages after all :)

(I say this not having spent much time with apt/synaptic looking for 
--nodeps command :) being an old RPM and tarball guy, old 
habits/favourites die hard.
