#make the image
 % mkisofs -r -o CdImageName InputFileOrDirectory/

#test the image
 % mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 ImageFileToTest /mntPoint

#burn the image to cdr
 % cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,1,0 -data CdImageFile

That's how I burn data cd's.  The `-r` option on mksiofs enables the Rockridge 
extensions.

This all came from the CD-Writing HowTo section on Burn Data CD's:
