Which screws and fixings/plugs do I need?

I'm putting up a plasterboard wall with metal framework.

I need to fix the floor rail to floor tiles, the ceiling rail into a wood and concrete ceiling, and the wall rails in brick and plaster walls.

What kinds of screws and fixings should I use?

    Seriously if you don't know the answer id get a book on fixings.

    To fix the framework together you need pan head self drilling screws

    Dry wall screws to fix the boards

    Whats under the floor tiles. assuming concrete No 8 plastic plugs and screws 1 1/2" long should do.

    Ceiling same as floor if its concrete if wood just use No 8 wood-screws.

    Brick and plaster walls same as ceiling and floor .
