Topic: Make a boot DVD?

This is my first try at using DPsBase.  All seemed to go well til the very end.  I didn't see the final screen that says slipstream finished. The DOS Screen got to the last line Updated \I386\winnt.sif's GUIRunOnce section, then everything disappeared and I was back at my desktop screen.  Did it finish?   Also  when I tried to make a bootable DVD (because I included all driver packs) with Nero 8 It said there were more than 8 levels in the file structure.  It seemed to burn ok but can I be sure?  Sorry if these are stupid questions.  Thanks,  Tom

Re: Make a boot DVD?

Once slipstreaming has finished successfully, there will be a notification pop-up window telling you this along with the time it took to slipstream and the only option to "ok" that message.
If this does not appear, something went wrong and you are strongly adviced to retry the whole process.

As for creating the bootable CD/DVD, I always make use of nLite for that out of convenience.
I was using cdimage.exe along with CDR-Win before but that is rather cumbersome.
