Writing with command line tools works on FC[678] just fine. Don't use 
graphical tools, since they are usually calling the command line tools 
after taking a guess at how to do what I want.

I use both growisofs and cdrecord, that's the *real* cdrecord, not the 
old hacked version which is really woeful or some such. Use growisofs to 
start, it will do virtually everything you need to do.
