Installing Drupal

for some reason its very slow. sure the computer is ony a P133 with 32mb ram, but it shouldn't run this slow. Before I had e107 and it wasn't slow at all (so its not mysql thats slow or something like that) and other things I tried wasn't slow. The reason I don't think its this slow, is because if it requires a faster system to be run at normal speed with only one user then what kind of resources would it need for many users? Also, other drupal sites are not slow for me, so its not that my browser can't handle it (Mozilla Firebird).

Hi,

I just installed Drupal, and since I'm a bit lost, I figured I should ask. I'm actually looking for a simple to install and use CMS for a friend who is currently maintaining his personal web site using stand-alone HTML pages generated with Word. Needless to say, it looks pretty crappy, and it's a pain to manage.

So...
1. although it seems to be "marketed" as a blogging tool, is it possible to tweak Drupal into handling just non-dated articles, ie. more like a book than a newspaper?

I have some vocabularies setup, they use multiple node-types. Including a forum node-type. When I create terms for a vocabulary that uses more than just the forum node, the forum for that term isn't created.

Am I missing something, missed certain readings? I looked around but couldn't find much on multiple node-types in a vocabulary.

thanks in advance

I want a php script (a webmail script) to show up in my menu's and display itself with the normal upper menu's from drupal. is this possible? if not, how do I add a non drupal link to the upper menu?

I am starting the evaluation process for Drupal and have run into a problem. I have just completed a fresh install of 4.3.1. After creating a new account to get access I went to the Configuration - Themes area. Without making any selections (did not change themes) the layout changed to a bare bones left side navigation. This occurred when I clicked on a navigation item. Is there a problem here?

I'm using Drupal 4.3.1 and installed filestore module 4.3.0
In my db all tables for drupal and for filestore have prefix "drupal_" which also specified in conf.php by the instruction "$db_prefix = "drupal_";"

And i have problems with filestore module: I can't uplode zip files.
