New Computer Installation Advice

At long last a new XP computer is to replace my 98se. I would appreciate some advice or pointing to any site which tells me the best way to set this up. Everything will be pre-loaded ( Win XP, AV, drivers for the DVD/CD etc ) but I will want to plug in my printer and ADSL modem....what is the best way to tackle things? Do I install everything in one go or one thing at a time? I believe the connection to the internet should be last. I have never used XP and would welcome any tips on setting up users etc. what I am afraid of is setting up something that can not be undone.
I will not be insulted by any answers, I think of my knowledge as OK but I have not got a clue about XP.
I plan to try and connect my old PC to the new one to transfer files by cable initially although the new one will have a wireless card the old one does not....am I better to burn the files to CD and transfer that way?
Thanks in advance for any replies
