You can create a block with the story titles (including the date).
The amount of stories on the front page can be added as followed:
save a backup copy of /modules/News/funcs.php
edit /modules/News/funcs.php
find the line:
function getArticles($where, $order, $limit, $startnum=0) {
Add $limit=1; (numer 1 is the amount of stories) after that line so that it looks like this:
function getArticles($where, $order, $limit, $startnum=0) {
$limit=1;
Good luck
I tried this and it causes one issue for me... you can't sort by topics or make any calls to the topic sections as they won't display any news :( any other way to do this??
BTW you can see it on my site at http://www.attackforcez.com

Just a friendly bump... is there any other way i can display no news on the front page? i am using a few blocks for summaries of the news, but if i do the above to disable news on the front page (which it does) I cannot sort news by topics... it won't display them. i used a $limit=0

don't know if i get you right - but an easy way might be to setup a 'blank' module as startpage. simply add /modules/blank/pnuser.php
Code
<?php
$GLOBALS['index']=1;
function blank_user_main()
{
return true;
}
?>
and set 'blank' as startpage in administration-settings

ok i tried that here is what i have found. Somewhere in my post nuke the news is hardlocked to the front page. Changing the option in the settings to blank or anything else does not effect it... any ideas where i am missing this?
Basically i am trying to shoot for how my site looks now using the $limit=0 to make sure stories are not shown on the homepage, but only the one line blocks are. the problem i have with using this is that if a user wants to see a related article and clicks on the topic after clicking on the article it does not display them. if i remove this line i get 5 more stories after my center block making my site Extremely long.
Never mind my above it was changing but my cache on my local machine was not. if i set it to the blank i get a failed to load module. i Still want my center block also, i noticed other modules take it away, basically i just don't want the news on the front page.

Update, i fixed it... had to make some changes to the users and admin to default 0 on the homepage and followed nate's suggestion to update the database for the existing users. Works great now, and i can click on the topic and it will display news for that topic with not problem. :D thanks for you help though!
