I have a copy of my I386 folder under $OEM$\$1\. Is there a way to have setup use that I386 folder booting from DVD so after textmode there is no more need for the DVD?

You might want to consider using WinPE/BartPE.... with it you can:

1. Boot from cd

2. partition hdd

3. format hdd

4. copy i386 to hdd

5. copy whatever else to hdd

5. run winnt32.exe to start setup from hdd

It works great

I would but my disc is 99.9% finished and this is the last step that would finish it off.
