Can other burners be used?
If, like myself, you don't have Nero, is it possible to use any other burning software?

Indeed, I would suggest
Indeed, I would suggest CDBurnerXP Pro, however if you're using a Vista machine to make this disc (unlikely seeing as this is a XP SP3 tutorial, then you'll have to use something like DeepBurner.

Slipstream Service Pack 3
Myself I think this Video needs re-doing on account, After run cmd I could not follow the typing on which was on the screen in the video. this is one mere mortal not a computer geek that can keep up with of someone trainning for the 2012 Olympics in speed tutorials, If things need to be typed in could you please put them on the page with the video.
Thank-you

Is this only available here
Is this only available here or should it be on one of the mag's video discs? Either my monitor or eyes are going because it seems to be out of focus most of the time.

Extremely poor video quality - unprofessional
The quality of the video is -5. Too fuzzy to read any of the instructions.
Also, some references are made to "the article" [apparently in PCAnswers November 28, 2008 issue] for info to be used in conjunction with the video, but no copy of the article is available for download. Clearly, the needed info should have been included in the video or a copy of the article made available for download.
Also - Most of the verbal instructions are excellent, but a few words are spoken too quickly and/or softly to understand.

Well indeed you are correct,
Well indeed you are correct, the video quality of the embedded video is quite low, however if you double click the video it will load the youtube page where you can view it in HD - in HD it's easier to see.
Yes there are references to the magazine article, but that's for "Extra" bits, it won't impact on what is covered in the video.
