I am taking you wish to utilize the source control features in TFS 2010 as part of a fresh install ?
-the first and probably the only document you will need to check is the TFS 2010 installation guide

TFS utilizes SQL server database engine,SQL reporting service,Sharepoint services , so you will need to install them during the installation process.
the TFS setup has improved a lot from 2008, and you will find yourself ready to go within minutes of the installation .first by creating a Team project, then adding your project code to source control , after integrating Visual studio with TFS source control.
Visual studio 2010 will work greatly and seamlessly with TFS 2010 , but in order to integrate VS 2008 with TFS 2010 as you asked, take a look at the below post please.
