There is the CD burning howto available (search google for "cdrecord
howto").

Here's what I do on windows or linux, using the free cdrecord software:
1. Type command 'cdrecord -scanbus' and make a note of the #,#,# that
represents your burner.  Plug that number into step 2
2. type:

cdrecord dev=#,#,# speeed=# -eject -verbose filename.iso

That's all.  For example:
cdrecord dev=1,0,0 speed=8 -eject -verbose shrike1.iso
