Not to knock xcdroast (I use it for copying cd's), but just keep this one liner handy

	cdrecord -v dev=0,0 speed=? -eject your.favorite.iso.file

Set the dev and speed values as appropriate, and login as root.  This is approximately what xcdroast does under the covers.

If this ever fails, your hardware/media is gimped, your iso image is bad, you need a newer version of kernel/cdrecord with bug fixes, or your machine is too slow to keep up with writing at the selected speed.
