If you're running GNOME 2.4 (as all FC1 users should be), by inserting a
blank CD into your CDRW drive, Nautilus (the gnome "file
manager/browser") will pop-up a window with the Location being burn:///

Your brother-in-law can then drag&drop his files to this window, then
click File -> Write CD.

Dead easy to burn photos to CDs, no need for anything external.
