I'm not clear on what you're needing help with: the specifics of how to
use cdrecord (or the much easier to use k3b), or is your problem
associated with the "can't burn as a non-root user in kernel 2.6.8.x"?
k3b is very intuitive and does a nice job burning cds with a minimum of
fuss. However if you are using the 2.6.8.x kernel, you can't burn as a
non-root user. Your choices are to either a) su to the root user and
burn away, or b) boot into an earlier kernel.
This tutorial may be of some help:

Here's a trick I've used to help teach myself the necessary cdrecord
commands: burn in k3b, but make a note of the output log. It provides
the specific cdrecord command that k3b created to get the job done.
Hope this helps,
Clint
