Well its discouraging since I expalined it several times. I want to do

Once it
is formatted you could mount it and use it like you use a hard drive.
Copy files to it using cp, remove files from it using rm, etc.
Sorry, Aaron, but CDs (even CDRWs) don't work that way. You can
create an image, and burn that image to a CD, and then (if you have a
CDRW) erase that image and write a new one, but they're not a random-
write device like floppies and hard disks.
There are some software packages that will let you continuously
append to a CDRW without closing the write session, but I don't
expect you'd be able to do that using standard command line tools.
