Yep, I do it all the time:

	dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/stuff/cdimage.iso
	cdrecord -v /stuff/cdimage.iso

You can mount the image as a loopback filesystem to check that it's
OK before burning it to CD if you wish.

It's great for backing up CDs which contain filesystems not natively
supported under Linux (for example, my DG/UX install media).
