Hi Timothy! Use cdrecord, not cdwrite (which I understand is very out of date). I have only done simple things, such as recording images made with mkisofs, but cdrecord has worked with my Yamaha CDR400tx. Unfortunately, last I looked, the only Debian cdrecord package was in hamm (unstable), so I grabbed the sources from http://www.fokus.gmd.de/nthp/employees/schilling/cdrecord.html and built it myself without any problems.
