will have much fun with zope, anyway. And I strongly doubt these people are the unix/linux users of the "opensource community".
Dire open source snobbery. And **if only** it were so simple (http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/HowTos/zopeinstall/ZOPE-INSTALL-HOWTO details 19 stages of the Zope installation actually)
Actually, no, it does not document 19 steps to installing, it documents steps to customizing/UPGRADING. Is there a difference? You betcha! Especially since most of those 19 are applicable *only* to those performing upgrades, and downloading Zope is listed as a step. Please be more thorough in the future. :^) On a Unix system: tar -xvzf zope-x.x.x.src.tgz cd zope-x.x.x python wo_pcgi.py Is a complete install. Now, *customizing* that install is a *separate* matter. if all you want to do, for example, is play around with it, the above procedure meets that need perfectly. Connecting Zope to a front-end webserver, is a customization. If you have Zope installed, you are not installing, you are upgrading. Furthermore, the referenced document is for "binary" installs. Note further that to install it, you untar it, then proceed to run the install script. One-step install (three if you want to count downloading and extracting), followed by local-site configuration and customization. -- Bill Anderson Linux in Boise Club http://www.libc.org Amateurs built the Ark, professionals built the Titanic.
