I just purchased an OEM version of Win XP SP 2 with a barebones kit. I
know nothing about XP. I am assuming the OEM version with be without
manual or whatever install guide that comes with the retail one. So is
there a good book that will provide me FAQ about instillation, and
tweaks that I can pick up at the next computer fair or Barns & Noble?

You could try any of these:
The first one doesn't tell much about installation, but more about basic
stuff. Good for starters.
The second one is more comprehensive, there is an updated version of the
book for XP Service Pack 2.

I've always liked the Mark Minasi "Mastering" series books. They are great
reference books. I have "Mastering Windows XP Professional." They are
published by Sybex.
