Hi, For a beginning, you can have a look at this tool. But have a look at linux website and you will fing a lot of answers to your question too. http://www.xcdroast.org/ Do I have to format it? No, but to blank the CD-RW for a second use, yes. Anyway, the best and easiest way is just to put a BLANK CD in your computer, and this will normally open a Nautilus "burn:///" windows. Drag in this window the files you want to write, and press "Write to CD". Id a CD is inserted, so this will be done easily.
