As root type this command:

cdrecord -scanbus

That will show you where your CD burner is -- typically 0,0,0 if you
only have one.

Then to burn type:

cdrecord -v -eject dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 someiso.iso

That will burn the file someiso.iso. If you get a buffer overrun error
try adding speed=0. A Cd burner can't wait for data, so if the buffer
runs dry you get a coster.

You can create an iso from a directory of files with mkisofs.

NOTE: Any modern Slackware kernel does *NOT* need hd(whatever)=ide-scsi
appended to GRUB or lilo.
