With cdrecord, which writes an image to a blank.

With mkisofs, which makes an image from a directory.

Personally my standard incantations are embedded in two scripts: mkiso and
mkcd, here:

        http://freshmeat.net/projects/mkcd/?topic_id=19%2C845

Typical usage is:

        mkiso -l cd-name-here directory
        mkcd directory.iso

or outright:

        mkcd -l cd-name-here directory

No thought involved.

The mkcd bit needs to be done as root, but making an ISO image can e done as
anyone.
