What exactly you want to do? If you just want to learn linux, I'd recommend you
to try installing Gentoo (www.gentoo.org) using its Handbook:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/
I believe it is a valuable step-by-step basic guide on how to install gnu/linux
and understand how it works (not only the kernel, but the entire system) from
scratch.
