Well, if you have two CD drives (at least one of which is a recorder), you can duplicate discs without making intermediate copies on a hard drive, but obviously if you have only one drive, then the data must be copied to hard disk and thence to the duplicate CD.
K3b has commands to do just this (Tools -> CD -> Copy CD...)
OK, I got the second CD to work on strait CD Copy. The issue there was permissions and /dev/hdd. K3b sees both drives and will copy a CD from the read only drive to the writeable drive, great. What still does not work is putting a audio CD in the second read only drive and creating a new audio CD project and dragging WAV files from the CD to the project. Actually I can not drag to the project even if the CD is in the read write drive. At this point I have to rip to the hard disk and then burn. This can't be right. What am I missing ?? Thanks to all who are helping. john
