Could it be that cdrecord is just missing the final - on the command

so how would this be done then ?

Hit the big K, then go to "Terminals" and then pick one. Or you can look on
your taskbar at the bottom, and you should see an icon that looks like a black
screen. Click in, and a terminal will come up.
Another very simple request! In windoze, there is an option
"Start-Programs-MSDos prompt".
Right-click on your desktop and one of the menu options should
be e-term, x-term, something like that. It will give you what you're
looking for.

If you wan't to get to a console prompt simply start an xterm from KDE
and then do an su command, when prompted fpr the root password give
that password and you will have command line control of the system as
root.
You may also wish to change your init runlevel in /etc/inittab to 3
