Ok ... so now that I have a working, stable copy of Drupal 5.5 on Resin 3.1.4, now I can start learning Drupal again.
Now .... if everyone has lost patience with me ... I have a Post Installation question to ask .... maybe a couple ... And all you have to to is point me in the right direction, or ask me for any more information that is needed.
So, I created a new content type with cck, the date field, image field, and link field .... no problem whatsoever.

You are correct. Nodes are indexed by the search module on cron run. In order for search to function, you need to enable the search module and then run cron, or more specifically setup cron to run periodically so that it can index any new content. (During development it's usually sufficient to just manually run cron from the status page every so often.)
