""" Usage: burn-pkm <pathSpec>

	Burn the given files and directories to the CD-R. You don't need to remember
	all the different switches to make the ISO file and to send to cdrecord.
	
	You need to be a member of sudoer's. See 'man sudo' for information on 
	setting that up.
	
	Requires the mkisofs and cdrecord utilities, which likely already exist on 
	your Linux system.
	
	Enjoy!   --Paul McNett (p@ulmcnett.com)
