Here, I have 
Linux dambo 2.6.9-1-686 #1 Sun Oct 31 03:42:37 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
with default DEbian (-686) kernel.

I can burn CD and DVD using just Debian main packages.
 * Install cdrecord, dvd+rw-tools, nautilus-cd-burner

I am under udeb system with hotplug and discover installed.  So I do not
do much configuration.

Key files:
----------------------
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
# For 2.6 kernel
ide-cd
----------------------
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
...
/dev/hdc	/cdrom		iso9660	rw,user,noauto		0	0

This is all you need.  Then GUI will take care.
