Hey.  You wrote this by replying to a message I wrote and changing the

You can't - you don't mount the blank CD to put stuff on it[1], you use a tool
like wodim, or growisofs, along with an ISO9660 filesystem builder, to write a
single stream of data representing everything you want on the disk.

For your purposes I would actually recommend burn:
http://www.bigpaul.org/burn/

It wraps up those tools and makes them trivial to use.  I don't know if F13
packages it, though.
