Paul,

"Easy" probably not.  Supposedly mkisofs can create DVD iso images, but
I've never tried it.  Take a look at the man pages for mkisofs and
mkbootdisk.  There is an explanation on making bootable CDs (man
mkisofs), but it's rather complicated (at least to me).

I did not see a k3b option, but not all of the options are displayed
running it under gnome.

Sorry not much help.

Bob...
