Thanks for that Michael, im having problems geting readom to access the
dvd but have found another solution:
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=264694

the given script uses 'dd' with blocksize and blockcount options. Do you
think it be more approprate to replace 'dd' with 'readom' ?

[root at localhost Scripts]# readom dev=/dev/cdrom
f=/home/me/Scripts/fedora.iso
Error trying to open /dev/cdrom exclusively (Device or resource busy)...

readom: Device or resource busy. Cannot open '/dev/cdrom'. Cannot open

readom: For possible targets try 'wodim -scanbus'.
readom: For possible transport specifiers try 'wodim dev=help'.
