Yawar, I think the key word here is 'simple'
Maybe it's just two different views but I dont 
think applying a CLI approach is answering his question 
while keeping 'simple' in mind.  I use the cli all day 
and prefer it a bunch over a lot of gui stuff, BUT when 
I want/need to burn CD/DVD I much prefer the 'simplicity' 
of K3B or Gnomebaker or whaterver over the command line.

He was asking for a SIMPLE way.. not a complex, 
multi-step cli appraoch requiring su to root and 
back then even MORE cli commands.  Sorry, but that
approach is to 'complex' for a question asking for 
a SIMPLE solution.

note:  don't get me wrong, I want every linux user no matter 
how clueless, to eventually learn enough cli to do these sort of
things.  but...  until they reach that level, let them 'point and click' 
away.. :-)
