Look in /usr/doc/cdrecord-1.9 for some of the documention. man cdrecord
will also give you information on how to run it. Cdrecord is a command
utility. If you want to burn CD's from X, you might want to try
xcdroast. You will also find the CD-Writing-HOWTO helpfull. It should
be in /usr/doc/HOWTO.

will check to see if you have a CD writter that it know about. As long
as the command runs, you have cdrecord installed.
If you still have problems after reading the man pages, and the howto,
write again.

The .i386, i586, and i686 tell you the processor it was optimized to run
on. A i.386 will run on anything form a 80386 up. A i586 is optimized
for pertium systems, and the i686 are pentium II. Most of the utility
programs are i386 so that they will run on any machine.
