I hope Norm LaDuke does take a breath and follow the advise others have given. But his post does in fact seem to be a common first-time experience. So I would like to suggest a sensible super-newbie-oriented adjustment to _all_ future Zope installations: At installation Zope system should create a default user called 'tutorial' or 'guest' or 'first-time' or something. Upon launching Zope the first time after installation, user 'tutorial' would immediately be logged in automatically and routed to the tutuorial istelf, where the first page advises him/her to create a personal user 'Id' and password for any further real-world use of Zope. This page should also include a form right there to do this. - Jason

| Can anyone out there tell me why anyone would use a product whose tutorial won't | even run. You guys are either INFINITELY more patient than I or you all have | WAY too much time on your hands. I'm about 7 hours into this thing and we do | finally have zope up and running but of course the tutorial doesn't work. | Requires you to put in an ID then blows up and goes no further. What a piece | of garbage!!!! (Does my frustration show??)
