Next question how to write to a CD-R.

The act of burning a CDR[W] is done in two stages. The first is to create an ISO. Essentially, an ISO is a "container" for all the files that you want to appear on the CD, in a format that the CDR will eventually understand. AFAIK, k3b allows you to create ISOs as well as burning them to the CD.

Once you've done that, you then have to tell k3b the location of the created ISO, and that you wish to burn it to the CD. I know I'm being vague, but the k3b interface is generally intuitive enough. It might also pay you to read a little more about the art of CD-burning:

k3b allows you to burn data files to a CD without involving the user in the process of building an ISO. You simply create a new Data CD project, locate the files you wish to burn in the top half of the screen and drag them to the bottom half of the screen, where you construct the file tree you wish to have on the CD. Once done, click the burn button and k3b burns the stuff to disk. Oh, it can burn ISO files as well, of course. Tony
