Post installation

Hi there. On all of my taxonomy pages (/taxonomy/tid) drupal seems to default to displaying 9 nodes per page before the paging starts -does anyone know how to change this value? Ideally I'd like to see a maximum of six posts before the paging kicks in. I'm not using views to display the taxonomy pages and changing the number of posts in admin/settings/node doesn't seem to have any effect at all! Any help would be muchly appreciated!

Greetings,
I need to add about 200+ fields to an app I am working on using Content Construction Kit. It would save me a lot of time if I could simply import the fields with SQL, but when I INSERT the new fields into the node_field table in my DB they do not show up in Drupal.

This is how I attempted It:

I downloaded drupal 5.1 today. After installation I wanted to configure the Garland theme.
Yes I am able to configure the following settings: toggle dispaly, logo image settings and shortcut icon settings, but no color settings in Home > Adminster > Site Building.

Were can I find the color settings??

Thanks for helping me out.

I have currently on my front page, a block that displays the next 6 events. This part works great. However I want to not show the 'bullet' that shows up to the left of each event. The html source says it's a
<div class="item-list"><ul><li>

But I can't find in the event.module, the event.css, nor the event.theme file where I can suppress the bullet.

Any ideas welcomed.

For a while, I keep getting errors shown below, when I go to the user registration page:

warning: __clone method called on non-object in /home/xprt007/public_html/drupal5/includes/common.inc on line 1375.

and this below after daring to submit a user registration:

Ok I need to add a optional check box to the registration page. This check box need to add a true or false value to the member's data record. The additional trick is that I don't want it to be part of their profile. Its a one time deal at registration, they never should see it again. I looked at the "legal" module but that won't work cause I need this to be options, they still should be able to register even if they don't check the box.
Can any one explain to me how to do this?
