Drag drop won't do it.  A CDROM needs all files to be burnt to it in a single 
session, or batches of files in a multisession disk (software option).

There are quite a few software packages available in Linux to put files on 
CDROMs.  My personal preference is XCDRoast... mostly because it has been 
very reliable, and I don't need to do any fiddling to make it work.  It just 
worked out of the box with SuSE7.3 and 8.0.

By the way, it's not a dumb question if you have never used a CD-RW before.
