I just downloaded and installed drupal 5.
It seems that the page, story and archive modules are not included.
Is that by design? mistake?

With CCK-light in core it is now possible to create new nodetypes without writing new modules. Page and story are such nodetypes and no longer depend on story.module and page.module.

Archive has been removed from core and is now a contributed module: http://drupal.org/project/archive. Alternatives for archive are listed on that page.

Thank you for the information.

Further question. I create a Page and Story type under Content Types (Admin | Content Management | Content Type).
How do I then create a menu item that will display the page and story types. I tried creating menu item with path of Story and Page and it does not work.

Thanks!

In addition to how to create a menu to the custom content (Page or Story), is there anyway (easy) of converting all Pages to Stories (or Stories to Pages) and only using 1 content type?

For basic-only nodes like page and story, you could edit the database directly and change the node type of a node. There's no effective difference between the two by default, so that's fairly safe if a bit sloppy. In general, though, changing a node type after a node is created is a bad idea as different node types frequently have different data associated with them, and that causes all sorts of chaos.

As for node lists, Drupal Core supports only two types of lists by default: Recently-created nodes (/node) and list-by-taxonomy. For any other sort of listing, your best bet is the Views module. It may take a little while to understand it, but it's an amazingly powerful way to slice and dice your node lists. :-)

Just as a follow-up . . .
I decided to use views to show what I wanted and create a menu item. Works nicely.

Did not take too long to get the basics of views, though I am sure I have only scratched the surface of its powers.
