Hello
I would like to ask how to write a CD-R (burn a CD?) from linux. What program do I need?
I need to do that in order to do a back up of my files from the HD

Try K3b, found at http://www.k3b.org/ It's one of the best I've met.
Beware of programmers who carry scredrivers.

Another good GUI CD burner is CD Bake Oven. I am currently using version 1.8.9 which works well for me. There is also available version 2.0.0 beta 2 which I have not yet tested. You can check out CD Bake Oven at:

dl0nra is correct, k3b is yet again just another frontend for the command line tools cdrecord, mkisofs, cdrdao etc...all be it a good one. SCSI emulation is required if you are running a 2.2.x/2.4.x kernel but ATAPI CD recording is now supported in the new 2.6.x kernels.
Summary: okay, here is the error message I get when I try to record a CD: cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure ...
Summary: Bill, I went to that site and checked things out. That file "should" be a .iso file(it has to be a .iso do make a cd from it). if that is the case, the following are the instructions that came wi...
