Michael,
In Debian, whenever you can't run a command,
find out what deb package contains it by doing dpkg -S:

ejahn@64funky:~$ dpkg -S cdrecord
...
cdrecord: /usr/share/doc/cdrecord/copyright
cdrecord: /usr/bin/cdrecord
...

The first part before the colon is the package name that contains that
file. Once you know that, then go get the package named before the
colon:

apt-get install cdrecord

And then /usr/bin/cdrecord will run. -Eric
