I don't have a small example, but basically the process is very simple.

First, you need to create an ISO image with mkisofs, part of the CDRtools bundle, then use "cdrecord -scanbus" to get a list of drives, and the last step is to use cdrecord to burn the ISO image into the drive.

Regarding the 2nd question, I just use the binaries.
