There are two approaches to this:

1. use the packet-cd driver
   http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/patches/packet/
   http://sourceforge.net/projects/packet-cd/

   You format the CD-RW as udf then write to it
   Last time I've tried - a long while ago - it it was extremely buggy
   so take care.

2. Mount Rainier
   First you need a writer which support it (not all do)
   Second: again it seems to be work in progress, I couldn't try it
   as I don't have the required drive.
   Do your homework, see what gives.

Cheers,
