Burning ISO CD not DVD

[boygenuis]

I'm working with Kali 4.19.0-kali3-686-pae.

I decided to download the Parrot Netinstall ISO to give that a try on a new computer - it's a small file and I have extra CDs laying around. I didn't want to use any of my flash drives for this cuz I've got them partitioned/formatted with backup images and programs already. So, I started with less /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info and got returns to say I can burn CDs and DVDs (see below):

CD-ROM information, Id: cdrom.c 3.20 2003/12/17

I tried using dd if=Parrot-netinst-gtk-4.5_i386.iso of=/dev/sr0 because I thought it was still good for CDs and got

dd: failed to open '/dev/sr0': Read-only file system.

I tried growisofs and got

:-( /dev/sr0: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 9

So I started grasping. I used mkisofs (obviously deprecated), cdrecord, mkdir /media/iso, and wodim, but I couldn't get any to work because they didn't either recognize SCSI driver or something wasn't writable, etc. I eventually installed Brasero and made the ISO, but what are my options if I want to use the terminal if I only have a small file on CD and not a full ISO DVD?

How can you say that these cdrecord, mkdir /media/iso, and wodim willl work?
