What dont you like about gcombust?  I like it and was going to suggest
it since you can add dirs/files (even by dragging and dropping if you
want) and click a button to total it, with a selection for cd size. The
total goofs up when you add too much but I *think* it highlights stuff
it suggests to remove to make it fit.  I usually add a few hundred megs
then go step by step till its near full.
