Currently using:
cdrecord -v -eject speed=4 dev=0,1,0 dsl... to burn iso cd.
Is there a wildcard so that I may burn all my files in hda3 for year end storage?
Tried CD Burn App GUI but looks like I would have to select files one at a time

This is what I use to burn a copy of my "data" directory.
Let say on hda3 I have a data/ directory.

First mount the drive. Then:

# cd /mnt/hda3
# mkisofs -r -o /mnt/hda3/data.iso data/

This will make a iso9660 image of the data/ directory

Next use your cdrecord command to burn it.

Now you can mount this cd and there are all of your files and directories that were in the original data/ directory.
