Burning CDs and DVDs on Linux
Burning an ISO image to CD
cdrecord was the original tool for the job, certainly in Suse 9.3, but by 10.2 was replaced by the confusingly named wodim. (They wanted to call it W(rites) O(ptical) M(edia) but wom had already been taken so DI(sk) was added)
This page, initially, was for my own reference because I can never remember WTF it's called now.
The history of the change is probably linked to the previous version's statement that it was modified by Suse to burn DVDs and as such is no longer supported by the author. But the project is primarily run out of the Debian camp, with some Suse maintainers, so its probably some sort of licensing issue. A bit like the xfree86/xorg split.
The basic command to burn an ISO onto a CD is as follows.
wodim -v -eject \
speed=4 dev=ATA:1,0,0 \
blank=[fast|all|help] \
driveropts=burnfree \
-data /tmp/cd.iso
# -v : verbose output -eject : spit out the CD when done
# speed option can probably be dropped; it'll run as fast as the media and drive will take
# device is a bit voodoo; get it from -scanbus
# blank - you need to pick one of the options in brackets. fast usually does the job.
# the burnfree option should enable any anti drinks mat features in your drive
# -data is obvious enough; I frequently just use `ls *iso` in place of the filename, where
# I know there's only one image in the directory

Might just be nuances of +RW
Will try writing it using growisofs, which is in the +rw tools package
$ growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z /dev/scd0=file.iso
