as86 is an assembler and is needed to succesfully compile a kernel.
I belive it is included in the binutils package which you should find on
your cdrom somewhere.
I dont want to sound repulsive, however if one reads documentition
beforehand things like this "could" be avioded, having said that i can also
understand why things go wrong.
If one chooses the "install everything" at install time things would be so
much easier, maybe you have a small H/D and choose to minimise your install.
