Yes, if you use the bimgr (or whatever that's called...).

Not out of the box.

Well, as far as I can tell, it's not possible to simply use a CD drive 
instead of a DVD one. That's because the dvd+rw-tools only work with 
real DVD writers.

Some major changes to the dvd-handler script would be necessary to 
implement CD writing with it.

At least that was the state when I was working with it, but things might 
have changed...
