Still not clear. Do you intend to burn a copy from one CD to another?
Do you intend to copy the contend of the CD's to your HD?
Is it a copy to use do you do not break the origials?
Have you got the originals, or are they ISO's?
What is your intent. What EXACTLY do you want to do? Be more precise,
because then a solution to the whole problem can be given. e.g.
You want to use the RedHat as an FTP instalation source.
You want to burn 1 on 1 copies of the CD's for safety
You want to install SUSE on the RedHat machine, but it does not have a
CD or DVD player
