Latest favorite of mine is graveman (graveman.tuxfamily.org/).
It is much lighter than k3b, it has a clean interface, just enough to get the job done. Simply awesome.
I like cdrecord and growisofs and because you need root privavledges to burn CDs on my machine so its easier and securer to do `sudo cdrecord ...` then mess about allowing root to run gui apps.
so in 1 command you make the iso image of the directory, then you burn it out to the CD all at one time. great way to safely and quickly create a CD backup of important files.
Forgive me if I'm off track here, but does that work how you think?
mkisofs is outputting the iso image to a file 'cd_image.iso' and not to stdout. Also cdrecord is getting the iso data from the file 'cd_image.iso' not stdin. So the iso data is not being passed through the pipe from mkisofs to cdrecord, the pipe is effectively useless, you may aswell do
that is much more accuate then what i posted. sorry i just took the other guys code and piped them together... since i started using k3b i have not used cdrecord. been about 2 years now.
