Installing Drupal

How do i get a link on each node on the start page that says "read more" ( like it does here on drupal.org)? Is it an option or am i just doing it all wrong? I start by creating a static or story page... But what then?

I've been taking a look at the taxonomy documentation to see if I can improve on it. However, there are two features in taxonomy that I still don't understand what they do. So I'm wondering if these are merely metatags which are not yet being used:

Hi all,

I have extensive experience with Frontier, Manila, HTML and several scripting languages but I'm just getting into Drupal, PHP and MySQL.

I've installed taxonomy_dhtml and it's working fine, but I'd like to create a custom block that calls a single DHTML taxonomy from taxonomy_dhtml. I realize I can enable and disable individual DHTML taxonomies for a site, but I want to control whether each taxonomy appears based on user roles. I've got the role part figured out but... :-)

i have installed drupal like it is described in the online manual. now i am at point 8. which says, that i should open the admin.php file the first time.....but i will get an internal server error when i call this file also as i get an internal server error when i call the normal /drupal/index.php file....what can i do?

Please guide, folks:
1. Taxonomy:
a. What is the most effective way of using it – one large Tx. Or several small ones.
b. Can separate installations of Drupal use the same Taxonomy
c. Can Taxonomies be imported/exported for use in other sister sites; can they be combined from different sites?
d. Taxonomy and forums – may we have less than all the terms in forums (we want forums to be connected with the Taxonomy, just not to every level depth of we will have for taxonomies)?
e. Can we not reproduce results of taxonomy by term name rather than ID?

Two questions:

A taxanomy category with loads of children. And the Taxanomy block is shown on the first page. When I click on a parent term it displays all the children also:

/taxonomy/view/or/13,16,53,17,14,23

Is it possible to tweak it so that the parents only show the very own parent like so: http://localhost/taxonomy/view/or/13 ?

Question two: I played around with mod_rewrite quite a lot and made nice little "symbolic links":
