Cannot write CD with Ubuntu

[Frank Schafer]

Hi,

I cannot burn a CD with this distro.

``cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus'' gives:

Reading the README points me to add some kernel parameters to the grub
configuration, which I never needed with other distros.
Then it tells me to reboot and to run a Debian utility. This utility
don't exist.
Solving this problem is essential. I'm using the PC at work and I'm
working for customers ...

Need some quick help.
Thanks
Frank

PS: Do not response to ``click here'' install gnome-* etc. I'm NOT using
a GUI.
