What do you have to lose by getting more comfortable with the command line? CDs are cheap.
There are a couple apps in MyDSL, like k3b or gcombust (I don't see that throughout the mirrors so you may need to hunt for it). k3b is almost as large as DSL itself (48 mb!!!!), which is crazier than any command line, imo, especially considering everything you need is already in DSL. cdw is curses not command line and it's not crazy:

Hi abnorm99:A good, easy-to-use GUI program I've used before is gcombust (< http://public.planetmirror.com/pub....ust.dsl >).
Command-line burning, using "cdrecord", is also very simple:
Burning an ISO file:
| Code Sample |
cdrecord dev=x,x driveropts=burnfree speed=[xx] [file.iso] |
"x,x" is a 2-digit sequence, which you can find by running
| Code Sample |
| cdrecord -scanbus |
- which will give the sequence corresponding to your CD burner.
"driveropts=burnfree" enables the buffer-underrun protection feature of your drive.
"speed=[xx]" - e.g. "speed=16" or "speed=40" will burn the media at 16x or 40x respectively.
Last but not least is the filename of the ISO.

Generating an ISO file (for backing up misc files onto CD):First, you need to move all the files/directories you want to backup into one directory. You can name this directory anything you want - the directory name does not in any way enter into the generated ISO file.
Let's say the directory is called directory.
To make the ISO:
| Code Sample |
| mkisofs -R --hide-rr directory > yourfilename.iso |
"-R" enables the Rock Ridge extension (< http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Ridge >).
"--hide-rr" hides the folder containing Rock Ridge information (a cosmetic feature).
And lastly, "> yourfilename.iso" outputs the data to a filename of your choice.
- Additionally, you may want to use the "-J" flag in some cases, like so:
| Code Sample |
| mkisofs -R --hide-rr -J directory > yourfilename.iso |
"-J" enables Microsoft's Joliet extension (< http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joliet_(file_system) >).
It is useful if you have files with non-Roman characters (e.g. Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian etc) in the filename.

There is also a wonderful script called "bashburn" which acts as a text-based menu-driven front end to the cdrecord tools.
