Okay this is what Carl knows about making bootable CD-R. Its not much so
this is going to be short and sweet ( I hope).
First you have to make the directory into a .iso file this is easy just
mkisofs -r -o <target file>.iso <source directory>
Then to get your device address you type
cdrecord -scanbus
On my system it 0,0,0
Then just burn it
cdrecord -v -data speed=12 dev=0,0,0 <source file>.iso
The speed of course can be set for anything withing the maximum range of
your burner. (But 12 is fast enough for me and it always works). And sub
0,0,0 for your dev that you got from the scanbus.
That pretty much all I know except to go to
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html
when any of the above doesn't work. Sorry if your on a Window box as I
don't have a clue how to do it in M$
