There are 2 ways of doing it, (AFAIK)

1/ you format the CDRW using a special format that allows you to use it just
like a 'big' floppy, the downside of this is that it is very very slow (and
I don't know how to do it under Linux)

2/ You burn it jsut as a standard CDR but make sure you do it as a
multi-session disk so taht you can add more data to it later, then when you
want to re-use the CDRW you just erase it and start over again.

Hope that helps.
