[LUNI] help with copying CDs that have errors

A backup CD could have a lot of information on it, and be going bad over 
time, so one would want to make a fresh copy of as much as possible.

as far as I can find, gnomebaker (kubuntu) and the equivalent in ubuntu 
will abort a copy at the first read failure.  Is there a way to force 
them or anything equivalent to do the best it can?  I realize if the 
failure is in a directory block, it may not be so useful, but most of 
the time it may just be one file that is lost.

If not in any of the gui packages, is there a tutorial somewhere using 
line mode commands to do this?
