burning cds

[Bob D.]

The easiest way is to use the CD burning abilities in Nautilus. You can
write ISO's to disk by right clicking the ISO and selecting "Write to
disk...". To burn files (data, etc.) to a CD, open the window with the
files you want, click on the Places menu in that window and select CD
Creator. This will open the CD/DVD Creator window. You can drag and drop
your files to the CD Creator window, then select select "Write to
disk..." from the File menu.

There may be other, better ways, but this works for me. :)

I haven't tried it yet, but you may want to also take a look at Coaster
(http://www.coaster-burn.org/). Will take a bit of work to install it at
this point but it looks very promising. IIRC, I saw a message here
saying the Ubuntu team was looking at Coaster as replacement for using
Nautilus down-the-road (Hoary?).
