Nope, no need to go into the 'select individual packages' unless you
know there's something you want that's not installed by default. I tend
to use it to pick up the joe editor for installation, it doesn't seem to
be included in any of the predefined packages.

To compile kernels you'll need egcs, glibc-devel, bin86 at the very
least. Nothing else pops to mind quickly.

No, you'll just need to be sure that the libraries and development
packages you need for the "compiling package" are installed.
