Not that it helps you, but I thought build-essentials was on the CD ...
is that no longer true for 6.06?
Synaptic doesn't know it, with or without the hyphen.
linux-restricted-modules package could have done the job:

Non-free Linux 2.6.15 modules on 386
This package provides restricted modules for Linux version 2.6.15 on
386.
Currently the following modules are included:
- madwifi (Atheros)
- fglrx (ATI)
- nvidia
- fcdsl, fcdsl2, fcdslsl, fcdslslusb, fcdslusb, fcdslusb2, fcdslusba,
fcpci, fcpcmcia, fcpcmcia_cs, fcusb, fxusb (AVM ISDN)
- ltmodem (Winmodem)
These modules are "restricted" because they are not available under a
completely Free licence.
