You did not say if you are already running Linux, but I assume from your earlier information on the other thread that you are using RH9. The quickest/easiest way RH9 (and in most linux versions) is to use the command line cdrecord. A line such as "cdrecord dev=<device> speed=XX -eject <isofile>" works perfectly. (Of course you have to specify the device, maximum speed you want, and the actual filename in that.) You may need to run "cdrecord -scanbus" to get the device in #,#,# format if you do not already know it. You also can use xcdroast or other gui tools as well, but AFAIK they all depend on cdrecord to work. The "right click" advice works with nautilus as a burner.
