First make an iso image using a command along the lines of
$ mkisofs -r -o /tmp/image.iso /h
This will copy the /h/ directory into the image.iso file. The '-r'
options gives you the "Rock Ridge extensions" (basically, long file
names and permissions that make sense). You can test the image if you
have loopback support in your kernel using a command along the lines
of
$ sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /tmp/image.iso /mnt
and look into the image at the /mnt point if you like. Finally, you
burn the image just like you wanted to
$ cdrecord -v dev=1,0,0 speed=8 -data /tmp/image.iso
BTW it is possible to skip the creation of the ISO image and pipe the
output of mkisofs to the input of cdrecord. Most modern computer
systems will actually create a CD that works rather than a coaster for
an oversize beer stein. I tend to use the intermediate file, call me
old fashioned....
