If it's a data CD, just create an image with:
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/image.iso
then write it with cdrecord. I believe it's actually possible to have
the output piped directly to cdrecord, but I don't know the switches off
the top of my head. Also creating the image first is less likely to
result in a coaster.
If it's a music CD, use cdparanoia (from the people who later bought us
ogg vorbis), then cdrecord. Or use cdrao (or something like that).
Personally, when I have used cd burners, usually I'll use gcombust,
which works well. I started off with command line tools, however, and
they work well.
