You don't actually need to put graphics into figures; if you don't
want the graphic to have a caption or appear in the list of figures,
it's fine to just drop an \includegraphics{} into the text. Is your
situation that you have a long document with lots of figures, and
they're *all* floating to the end of the file? You might try
\begin{figure}[!h] if you really don't want the float to float.
'texdoc lshort' (a really useful LaTeX reference, IMHO; type that at a
shell prompt from within X) mentions that there actually is a case in
which all of the floats can mysteriously migrate to the end of the
file. Floats are placed strictly in order, so if one can't be placed,
it pushes all of the floats afterwards on to the next page. If this
continues, you wind up with all of the floats at the end of the file.

Yes, but there's very little useful there. The only setting I've ever
tried to change for normal use is the default paper size. You can
also increase the size of TeX's memory, but if you need to do that
you're probably either writing a major package or doing something wrong.
