One other thing, though you really probably don't need to do them, is bias frames.

Set the camera to the same ISO as used with your lights. Cover the lens with the lens cap. Set the shutter speed to the fastest shutter speed available. Take 10-20. Use DSS to combine them into a single master bias frame.

Depending on what you're shooting, if you can get 2 min subs, that's awesome. Get as many subs as possible, the more the merrier. DSS will happily combine your lights subs into a single shot, which should be equivalent in terms of total exposure time by # of subs x # duration.

Hopefully I've explained myself well. I'm still very new to all of this myself.
