Hi Andrew,
Windowmaker and Ice should run fine in 24mb as long as the memory
is without fault and seated in the slots properly.
The "SVGA" colour server for the pci Cirrus Logic does ok..
RH7.0 "Xconfigurator" use this instead of the XF Cirrus driver.
I find that the Cirrus 5430 1 mb card is very solid in some pc's but
crash's randomly in others.
Your /etc/X11/XF86Config Screen section does not specify the SVGA
driver.
Driver "svga"
Both RH7.0 "Xconfigurator" and "xf86config" put this in like
this.

The "Ethernet" Howto has info on network card configuration.
The card manufacturer http://www.dlink.com also has info on
setup.
You'll probably have to specify the network card irq and i/o port in
/etc/modules.conf. Your distro should have a gui tool for this.
Just type "/sbin/ifconfig" and "route" in the console to view the
current
status of your eth0. The manuals provide info on these commands.
eg "man route"
Two websites to help with netcard setup are:
http://rute.sourceforge.net/rute-HTML.tar.gz (The rute manual)
type "tar -xzvf rute-HTML.tar.gz" to unzip it after download.
