    The easiest way is to dd the cd's to a suitable directory.
    cd /tmp
    dd if=/dev/cdrom of=./SuSE-9.0-CD1.iso bs=8M

    Use the above command to copy each iso to disk, changing the filename to suit
    the CD number.

    Then use K3B to write each iso to a new CD.
    K3B--->Tools--->CD--->Burn CD ISO image
