Install as little of the Linux system as you can. My installation started with a server configuration and then I turn off ever un-needed service in /etc/inetd.conf. For more security you should uninstall the unneeded service.

Because most distributions don't dome with a kernel usefull to your perpose. You will need to compile your own kernal. It is best if you do this on a computer other then the firewall. If you do install a C compiler and utilities on your firewall, remove them after you have completed comfiguring your kernel.
