   Some suggestions: countersunk self-drilling screws, construction adhesive and temporary bracing, drywall anchors with countersunk screws, p.i.t.a., bid accordingly

   Depending on the gauge of the steel, a 15 ga finish nailer and spot gluing will work well.

   Doors-if metal jamb, no wood liner.  If wood jambs-possibly metal frame is lined with wood.

   Finish screws-self tappers.

   When trimming a space framed with metal stud, I like to pre-assemble window and door frames and install in one piece. I use nails where applicable and trim head screws with construction adhesive where nails won't do.
