For burning data cd's, I first make a .iso image with mkisofs:

To make an iso image of the directory /home and everything under it:

    (as root):
    cd /
    mkisofs -r -o home.iso /home/

Then to burn it to cd-r:

    cdrecord driveropts=burnfree -v dev=0,0,0 speed=16 home.iso

To get the proper device numbers, run

    cdrecord --scanbus

The CD recording HOWTO is over 3 years old and has some good and some 
old info.
