As wes mentioned, you will need something bigger. USB hard drive, SSD or flash drives... As for burning to optical media, what the heck: stuck in the 90s? CLI is great...but not always. mkisofs/cdrecord are fine but why? Every linux distro has a nice DCDR/DVDR/BDR burning that wraps the mkisofs/cdrecord/etc to make it easier for routine use.
