Do you have mkisofs (from Slackware cdrutils package)? Then you
can make an .iso out of an .img with this command:

mkisofs -J -R -o output_iso.iso -b bl2-2880.img bl2-2880.img

(The -R and -J are optional, but they allow long filenames to be
readable by Windows and Unix, respectively. The -b flag to mkisofs
tells it to set up said El Torito boot image for booting an emulated
floppy image off of a CD.)

Now just find a way to get that ISO onto a CD and you should be
finished.
