As the Views Bonus Pack and it's really useful grid view isn't ready for Drupal 6 yet. Has anyone got a nice simple way of doing something similar yet?
I want to be able to do the following:
Display thumbnail images in a 4 x 4 grid, with several pages if there are more than 12 in total, with each thumbnail centred. The option of having cpations on or off would be great, but if easier, then no captions. Clicking on any image then starts a slideshow using the Lightbox2 module.
Any ideas folks?

If I understand you
If I understand you correctly, I believe you may be able to use the node cloud module for this. You may have to adjust the css to get the images spaced correctly.

Are you using the image
Are you using the image module? Or imagecache and imagefield for CCK? Either way, you can select the appropriate image size when you create the field in the view. It takes a little practice.

Not sure since I do not use
Not sure since I do not use the image module. If you are viewing a node I would guess you can control which size image is shown for the teaser vs full node either as settings for the module or the content type (I prefer the flexibility of CCK, image field and image cache)
You can control the way the
You can control the way the image is displayed with imagecache, which works with the image module.
In your CCK content type, select the 'display' tab, and change which image cache format to choose for teaser and full node.
For the field, you need to select Groups: Content > then locate your image field.
Does that help?
