Post installation

I may be misunderstanding the concept of Link Names. When I create a page and assign it a Link name, is it suppose to show up under the user navigation section? I do not see a link created in my Admin account nor my regular user account. This might not be doing what I think it should be doing, so some insight would help.

But as a FYI: I'm loving Drupal over XOOPS. XOOPS was nice, but damn the speed increase in Drupal is great. And I love the cleanliness and organization. I do however find a limited amount of templates available, but I'm sure there may be more down the road.

How do I allow/restrict access to certain pages/folders on my website to certain users?

I searched for something similar, but can't seem to find an instance where someone is having the same problem.

I'm using 156x156px .PNG files for my taxonomy images and they're covering up the title block of my stories, appearing roughly centered on the right hand side.

I'm using the PHPTemplate theme, but for the life of me, I can't seem to find the .CSS entry that controls the title box so I can adjust the size so the image doesn't overlap -- looking at the source for the page, the image shows up as part of the breadcrumbs)...

Unable to login to my new Drupal installation because the initial email containing the password never gets sent -- instead, the above-described error is returned. The user does get created (as verified with mysql, "select * from users;"). If I comment out the call and function (lines 237-242), no error is returned but (unsurprisingly) the email again is unsent.
Installation consists of:
Drupal 4.4.1
PHP 4.3.6
Apache 1.3.31
Linux kernel 2.4.20-8
RedHat 9

I'm new at this, of course...

I am trying to set up a series of separate websites that are all hosted on the same system and are related to one another in what amounts to a hierarchical structure. The obvious way to do this is to set up a separate instance of Drupal for each site and then have those sites provide feeds to one another so that events and such can be coordinated.

That seems a heavyweight solution, particularly since there will be a good deal of cross-pollenation and, therefore, duplicate content.

Here's an example of what I'm trying to accomplish: Consider a University setting. At the top of the hierarchy would be a University-wide page with its own content. Below that you have departments, and below those you'd have pages for individual classes.

Each of these many sites would have their own events calendars, news, forums, etc. In most ways they'd be separate but a University-wide event might be important enough that it would be pushed down the hierarchy to the departmental or even class calendars. Likewise, the University site may want to list the top stories from the departments.

Since all of the shared information is on the same server it seems wasteful to have separate Drupal instances for each. If that is the best way to do it, however, how do you go about controlling which news items and events you do and don't feed to other sites?

I imagine there's a lot here that's just my own lack of knowledge. Happy to be set straight.
