Well now ... I have a wonderful fresh new working install of Drupal 5.3, and yes I am reading every ounce of documentation and reading two books on Drupal.
According to: http://drupal.org/node/101723 The Content Construction Kit is supposed to be built into Drupal 5.3, and according to the docs .. "enable the Content Construction Kit modules at Administer >> Site building >> Modules." But I don't see the CCK there to turn on.
However, I can list content types, and I can add new content types or edit existing ones .... I tried to take the "Story" content type and add new fields to it .... as the docs say ... "configure the Content Construction Kit fields by going to Administer >> Content management >> Content types and select a content type to edit. On the edit screen you will see tabs to Manage fields or Add field."
Well ... nope ... there is no "Manage Fields" or "Add field" .... so again, *I* must be doing something wrong. I will continue to research this .... but in the meantime if anyone can help me out ... that would be great.
Thanks again! Tom
You're partly right. Parts of CCK have been rolled into core but not all. For full functionality you still have to download and install the CCK module

Never mind .... I did download the CCK and added it .... everything is working perfectly.
yes, I did put the cck module under /sites/all/modules ..... I didn't take the Drupal Bootcamp in Cambridge for nothing you know ;-)
I originally didn't think this had to be downloaded .... but I guess you do.
Anyway, all good ...........
