Above for +R.  dvd recording varies GREATLY from system to
system now.  There isn't a defacto recorder right now because
there were so many implementations initially.  I started out with the
pro-DVD version of cdrecord from Mr. Schilling (author of
cdrecord).  But in SUSE 9.0/9.1, I noticed that it looked like
k3b was simply copying my .iso image STRAIGHT to the DVD.
How nice.

I know you're trying to burn FC2 CD's, does that mean you're
running FC1??

Depending on your dist/version, it could be:

cdrecord
dvdrecord
growisofs (DVD+R,+RW)
dd or cp even
...or nothing...  you have to have something fairly recent
to have DVD burning support.
