>+To be able to use your IDE CD-burner (you <e>do</e> have a CD-burner, don't
>+you?) you don't need to configure your kernel with <e>SCSI Emulation</e> 
>+anymore. For SCSI CD-writers, nothing has changed.

>+<body>
>+
>+<p>
>+With <c>mkisofs</c> you can create ISO files (CD images) ready to burn.
>+You install it by emerging <e>cdrtools</e>. The most important options are:
>+</p>
>+
>+<ul>
>+<li><e>-R</e> to create a CD with RockRidge extensions. This means that
>+permissions and file ownership are preserved on the CD.</li>
>+<li><e>-r</e> is like <e>-R</e>, but the permissions are set to a
>+default (644 or 755 in case of a directory) and file ownership to
>+user "root", group "root".</li>
>+<li><e>-J</e> creates a CD with Microsoft Joliet extensions, so that
>+long filenames are preserved for usage under Windows.</li>
>+<li><e>-o filename</e> defines what image everything is written
>+into.</li>
>+</ul>
>+
>+<p>
>+For instance, to create an ISO file of the directory
>+<path>~/data</path>, which can be read by Microsoft Windows (with long
>+filenames) and preserves permissions, you would type:
>+</p>
>+
>+<pre caption = "Creating an ISO file">

>+<p>
>+With <c>cdrecord</c> you can burn a given ISO, or burn soundfiles
>+(<path>*.wav</path>) onto a CD-R. <c>cdrecord</c> too is part of
>+<e>cdrtools</e>.
>+</p>
>+
>+<p>
>+The most important options for <c>cdrecord</c> are:
>+</p>
>+
>+<ul>
>+<li><e>dev</e> to define which device should be used to burn a CD. For
>+IDE CD-burners (let's say <path>/dev/hdc</path>) you would use
>+<c>dev=/dev/hdc</c>. For SCSI-burners (let's say <path>0,0,0</path>) you
>+would use <c>dev=0,0,0</c>.</li>
>+<li><e>driveropts=burnfree</e> to activate buffer underrun
>+protection.</li>
>+<li><e>-audio</e> if you are creating an audio-CD.</li>
>+</ul>
>+
>+<p>
>+For instance, to burn the previously created <path>cd.iso</path> you
>+could use:
>+</p>
>+
>+<pre caption = "Burning an ISO">
>+# <i>cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc driveropts=burnfree cd.iso</i>
>+</pre>
>+
>+<p>
>+To create an audio-CD based on <path>track1.wav</path> and 
>+<path>track2.wav</path>:
>+</p>

>+<pre caption = "Burning an Audio CD">
>+# <i>cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc driveropts=burnfree -audio track1.wav track2.wav</i>

>+To create audio-CDs, you somethimes want to have audiotracks succeed

>+There are several graphical front-ends for the abovementioned tools.
>+These front-ends make CD burning even more easy. None of them really
>+need explanation; just fire them up and use them! :-)
>+</p>
>+
>+<p>
>+<c>k3b</c> is such a front-end. It has drag 'n drop facilities, both for
>+data-CDs and audio-CDs. To install it, type in <c>emerge k3b</c>.

>+<p>
>+Others are <c>gtoaster</c> and <c>xcdroast</c>. Both have similar
