K3b is a CD/DVD burning software comes by default with KDE when you installed Slackware. It has everything a beginner needs to burn a data, audio, video and ISO image under Linux using the graphical user interface without learning the command line utilities such as cdrecord, cdrdao, and growisofs. This is an example on how to burn ISO image using k3b dvd burner program running in Slackware Linux.

5) Compare the md5sum and when you are done, change the burn speed to 4x to make sure the image will be burn properly (the slower is better). Set how many copies to burn and choose to verify the burned data or not. Click Start to begin burning the iso image. See the step by step instructions in the screenshot image below:

Wait until the Overall process is at 100%. When k3b has finished the burning, click on Close to quit the program.
That's all.
