Depends on what you're ripping.  For data CDs, just use dd, as in:

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/file.iso

(change the args as you feel the need :-)  In fact, that works to build floppy 
images too, if you have the need--though you'd use /dev/fd0 for the input file.

If you have an audio CD (I'm assuming this is your material, either created or 
purchased), then you can rip with cdparanoia.  You basically need:

cdparanoia -g /dev/sr0 1 title.wav

(your device will probably be different)

I also agree with Darin.  Learn and use mkisofs and cdrecord directly.  They 
aren't that hard.  I generally script it all into "mkcd", which is what I use 
for backups.

HTH,
