 I've killed about 8 cd's and had to quit when I ran out. :)

 I used an IPBIN file from I think fivemouse.com and one from DCquake.
Does the IPBIN and firstboot file have to be created together?

 When reading the burning instructions I believe it stated that the CDrom
needed to support as certain mode and that cheap burners don't support
that mode. I'm not really sure what "cheap" means, does anyone know what 
burners do not support the mode mentioned?
