K3B is a kool tool that can help you.

* Put the flies that you want to burn in your home directory somewhere.

* Open up K3B.

* Under tools, go into CD and click burn CD Image.

* Click the folder to go into a screen where you can click on your files.

* The program will automatically do an MD5Sum check on the file. This checks if the file has been tampered with or corrupted while downloading.

*Put a blank CD in your drive, and then click start. It is as easy as that.

Try not to have too many programs running while burning, it can mess up the burn process and ruin your blank CD.
