Let's see - 
a) I'm not familiar with Redhat, but I think you're looking for the /etc
rc* directories - they contain all the startup scripts for the various
runlevels.
b) Try just editing /etc/network/interfaces - that contains the local
network and eth0 settings - just change the word dhcp to static (pppoe,
whatever)
c) Can't remeber - xmodmap or locale, maybe?  Hopefully somebody else
can be of more help here than I can.
Good luck,
Steve
