You can run k3b under gnome. during the k3b install, it pulls in just
enough of kde for it to work.
I think k3b uses the command line program called "growisofs", from the
dvd+rw-tools package.
growisofs is very easy to use.
growisofs [-dry-run] [-dvd-compat] [-overburn] [-speed=1] -[Z|M]
/dev/dvd <genisoimage-options>
To use growisofs to write a pre-mastered ISO-image to a DVD:
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso
growisofs is only for DVDs, not CDs.
