I want to make my front page the main posts page but when I do: front page displays- show latest posts it just dumps all my posts on the front page.

I only want one category to be displayed on it not all of them. How to do?

Also I want it to show a summary only. It does this when I click on a category but not on the main front page. This isn't essential but would be nice...just to see a teaser of the corresponding post then clicking for the full version.

Ok, found a plugin for it.

    If I understood you correctly, here's my guidance:
    Use Custom Menu (if supported) and you can have only 1 category show up on the menu.

    If you want only 1 category to show up on the front page, you can define it within the loop as 'cat=7' - easy search on WP Codex.

    Also I want it to show a summary only.
    Instead of using:
    <?php the_content(); ?>

    Use:
    <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

    Hope that helps.
