Spend about 15 minutes with the cdrecord manpage, then use that if you don't
like bloat. For super-dumb users, you could wrap this with a simple shell
script. Bloat is now not a problem. I find nothing especially daunting about
cdrecord -v -speed=? dev=0,0,0 -eject /path/to/what/to/burn
cdrecord -scanbus gives you the value for dev=
With a little more effort (not more than a day) you could use perltk or tkinter
(python) or even native tcl/tk (wish scripts) to code up a simple gui for the
above mentioned users that invokes cdrecord under the covers. Bloat also not a
problem here.
