Installing Drupal

I installed Drupal, following the instructions in the install.txt file. When I try and go to the login page and sign up for my first acount I get this error after submitting my user name and e-mail address.

warning: ini_get, ini_alter, ini_restore, ini_set, getrusage, mysql_list_dbs, get_current_user, set_time_limit, getmyuid, getmypid, dl, leak, listen, chown, chmod, chgrp, realpath, tmpfile, link() has been disabled for security reasons in /data/members/free/tripod/uk/f/y/t/fytebak/htdocs/cms/modules/user.module on line 855.

I downloaded image module and installed it on my web site. But it cannot work without imagemagick/gd support, even thought I dont need the thumbnail and image processing function. I contacted with tech support of my web hoster. They refuse to install imagemagick or gd for me. However they said their php system (php/apache/freeBSD) support GD library, they said I need not a standalone executable converter file to fulfil the task. Now I am fully confused. Is there any way that I can use image module without a converter.exe ? How ?

How can I translate the "archive browser calendar"?

I have search for the "Mo", "Tu", ... in .module archives but I haven't found nothing :(

I'm attempting to create an intuitve novice-user friendly discussion system similar to Yahoo groups that provides email notification + the ability to see unread "posts".

I've been expirmenting with Drupal and a few other candidates (phpBB) but am unable to configure drupal to show unread posts.

Is there a module or configuration to that will show user's unread posts like Yahoo groups?

Thanks in advance,

any advice will be appreciated

Is there an easy way to include the author's name (and perhaps also the date of composition) in the bulleted lists of book pages - for example, in a way similar to the tracker module, which has a neat tabled list of book page, author, and date (in CVS). It seems odd for a collaborative that you cannot immediately see who has contributed what and when.

I installed the updated import-module http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/contributions/modules/import/?cvsroot=contrib and followed all of the instructions the new import-mysql file imported fine and all modules where installed. I enabled the 2 new modules and tried to load some rss feeds and it appeared that they where not getting imported to the database. When I load the import page I get the following error.
