When we are young
Wandering the face of the Earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we're only immortal
For a limited time

emerge one of the cdrecord front ends.
I use and love k3b, but there is xcdroast, and no doubt many others.

Once cdrecord is merged
cdrecord -scanbus -dev=ATAPI:
and read the HOWTO on tldp.

I reccomend xcdroast, actually. It will automatically detect the ATAPI
drives in your system without any special configuratilons on the grub
boot line... It will complain, but you can safely ignore it. I've
never had a problem with it.

It's also handy if you want to avoid the bloat that is the KDE libs.

I've tried k3b and xcdroast, but I always end up back on the command
line.
specifying dev=ATAPI will burn directly to an IDE burner without the
scsi emulation.

make sure the following commands are on one line, the mail program
will surely mess it up. And of course, remove -dummy after you tested
it, and make sure you point to the right ATAPI device (your burner).
burnfree and overburn and speed might not be supported by your
burner.

this will burn a file to a cd:
mkisofs -R -J 'filename' | cdrecord -dummy -speed=8
-driveropts=burnfree -overburn -dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 -

this will burn the present working directory recursively to a cd:
mkisofs -R -J . | cdrecord -dummy -speed=8 -driveropts=burnfree
-overburn -dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 -

this will burn a premade iso file to a cd:
cdrecord -dummy -speed=8 -driveropts=burnfree -overburn
-dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 file.iso

You can also use dev=/dev/hdd (or wherever your writer is). cdrecord
warns about the perils of this, but it has never caused me a problem.
