1. su to root (# su - )
2. launch k3b (# k3b )
3. from the menu select tools -> CD -> burn cd image
4. navigate to the location of the image and tell it to burn.
alternatively use cdrecord (again as root )
# cdrecord -eject speed=X driveropts=burnfree dev=/dev/cdrom image.iso
where X is the speed you want to use for burning
Either way should get you a filesystem instead of an iso image on the
CD.
