What sort of burner do you have? Is it SCSI, or is it IDE, or USB? Personally, I have a IDE, and the procedure I follow is(as root)
modprobe ide-scsi modprobe sg modprobe sr_mod cdrecord -scanbus And then it shows my drive. To burn data, you have to first create an iso with mkisofs, but the general command I use is: cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=8 -data -dao /tmp/myiso.iso For music, its a bit more complex, and I personally find it MUCH easier to burn from within windows(my windows burner is also quite a bit faster than my linux one, though I don't make as many coasters with linux.)
