It is a bit difficult to install nuclear powered engines on

The error message says it all. RH 7.1 is on kernel 2.4.x, and
would optimally need 64mb+ of memory. Even 32 mb will be a
tight fit with lot of swap activity.
Upgrade system .... or stick to 2.2.x. For an old system where
full hardware support is provided by an old kernel nothing is
actually gained by "upgrading".
If you want latest software binaries and libraries, it is
recommended you go for Slackware 8 with kernel 2.2.19.
