He said CD-R, not CD-RW - I suspect he's talking about either 
multi-session burning or UDF packet writing.  I'm not familiar with any of 
the GUI tools, but multi-session writing can be done using mkisofs and 
cdrecord (mkisofs has to read the disc first while constructing the new 
session).  I did see some packet writing support in the kernel when I was 
building the 2.6.14 kernel at the weekend, but I've no experience of how 
to use it or how well it works.
