I experienced similar problems when I tried to burn a cd from a downloaded
slackware distribution. The main source was in the directory /slackware/
                                                              123456789
                                                                      ^
Too many characters. My ad hoc solution was to copy the cd to a hard disk
partition and then install from there. This only worked after I renamed
slackware to a name with less than 9 chars, e.g. temp. Then it worked. So
I presume that it is a file system problem. To use long names you need an
extension to iso9660. This may be not supported by your installation
kernels.

Anyway, back to your question, a friend of mine uses Xroast to burn cd's.
As far as I know it works great, but I don't know about making
linux installation cd's.
