how can I burn ISO images in FreeBSD 4.8, cd-write port broken?

Nathan Kinkade,


Thanks to you and Jim and Dick that also posted helpful replies.  I
really appreciate it.   What you have suggested worked quite well. 

But I wonder, where I could I have learned this.  Is there some
mysterious set of documentation that I should have read before heading
out on the road of FreeBSD?  I had the same problem installing gnome for
the first time.  Oh it installed all right but it took me an hour and
posting to a news group to figure out how to call the executable (it
seem you need not call startx.  StartX, gnome.   I would never have
guessed that.  So where would I go to learn about that kind of stuff?
