Make sure you get the "development" stuff like make, gcc, grep, things like that.

I wouldn't do that, the kernel is probably different for each operating system.

Sounds like you are running setup the wrong way. eg. you are running setup from within Windows 98 (or whatever) when you should be booting from the CD.

You should be able to boot directly from the setup CD, you may need to change the PC BIOS settings to enable this.
