Many CD programs will take ISO image files. I don't have instructions on
many yet, here are the two I have so far.
Thanks

Here are notes for writing Debian's ISO 9660 CD image files using various
CD-writing programs:
"Cdwrite"
Cdwrite is in a free Debian package. Most development of late seems to
be happening to a program called "cdrecord", which might eventually
replace "cdwrite". It works on drives from Yamaha, Philips, Kodak,
IMS, and HP. I use "cdwrite" on my Yamaha 4X writer with no problem.
The flags I give it are:
cdwrite \
--eject \
--verbose \
--speed 4 \
--device /dev/sg0 \
--yamaha \
/mnt/binary.iso
"Easy CD" - Would more accurately be called "No CD".
"Easy CD", which comes with many drives shipped by Philips and other
companies, doesn't recognize the ISO image files created by the Debian
"mkisofs" program. It's no doubt a simple problem, since we conform to
the ISO 9660 CD standard, but their customer support staff says "We
don't support Linux" and won't tell us anything else. If you are
ordering a drive that comes with "Easy CD", tell the dealer you already
know it won't work for your application and you'd like another program
in its place. If you have it now, plug the drive into a Linux system
and use "cdwrite" or "cdrecord" instead.
