	I have been using mkisofs to create Rock Ridge images of CDROM's to 
burn. It works great and does what I want.
	However, to actually burn the CDROM, I transfer the image to a DOS 
machine (actually, via OS/2 and NFS, I write the image file from mkisofs 
directly to a FAT disk), then burn the CDROM on a Phillips CDD522 using 
Windows and WinOnCDtogo. It all works well, but I would rather skip 
OS/2,DOS,Windows and burn the CD-R directly using FREEBSD, Linux or SUNOS.
	Is there a good program that can burn the image generated by mkisofs 
to the 522 under UNIX ? Preferably very cheap or free.
	Please email responses. Thanks.
