Cron on suse 10.0

Hi Folks .. This may already have been covered i dont know but here goes My system here is never turned off the only time it goes down is when i down it , I wish to have cron behave as it used to do before all this stuff for the start stop brigade was mixed into it . What i need to know is can i get rid of the "cron.daily , cron.hourly " and so on files and just return it to a very efficent and simple cron and crontab system minus the flowery bits i neither like need nor want .. Cheers Pete .
