Hi,
can anyone plz tell me the procedure for burning the cds using command

Should I install any drivers for burning cds using this command?
Please explain in detail.

For a basic burn of an iso file.. it would look something like this:

cdrecord dev=2,0,0 speed=16 -v -eject filename.iso

man cdrecord for more info

Here's some examples:

If you use scsi emulation you need to find your device with: sudo cdrecord -scanbus
If you don't use scsi emulation you can use the devicename directly, for me my burner is /dev/hdc.
Also if you burn from cli a lot you can create a script for it as in:
markus@fujibox:~$ cat /usr/local/bin/burn
#!/bin/sh
cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc driveropts=burnfree,noforcespeed fs=14M speed=12 -dao -eject -overburn -v "$1"

So when I want to burn, say an iso, I do: burn filename.iso
