http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP has a link to many HOWTO's (and mirrors nearer
to you.)

This has been answered already.

I have no experience with those. Read the ISDN-PPP HOWTO.

I don't know if sound modules come with the default kernel. You might have
to recompile the kernel yourself. Look at the kernel-package for
instructions. There is a SOUND HOWTO as well. If your card is plug-n-pray,
you have to install isapnptools to initialize it before you can use it.

That greatly depends on the amount of virtual memory you think you'll ever
need. It may also depend on how big your harddisk is. I think 72 MB will
get you a long way.

Did you read the libc5 - libc6 upgrade mini-HOWTO (not on sunsite) before
starting the upgrade?
Cheers,
