Believe it or not it may be simpler in the long run for you to
set up a Linux partition and work in there. It is not just the
initial install that you have to fight your way through, it is
the upgrades. OTOH Linux comes with all stuff, compiler, linker
etc. you need. there is a CDR version of Linux out there called
Knoppix, and another called Slax. Just put it in the CDR drive
and reboot. You also will need a pen drive 
for your work space because Linux can't write on a NT partition.
