Hi Thomas,

Is there anyone that could help or give me some pointers ?

Yup, those switch options are confusing so I avoid them ;-) First, the most helpful tool for me in working with Linux is "git". This is a nice character based navigation and file management utility. Just type git. It came on my RH Linux and is installed automatically without your request. This program is alot like the DOS Norton Commander that I started using years ago. So you get the distribution: Zope-1_10_2-linux2-x86.tgz I use git's F6 key to rename it zope1102.tgz to ease the long typing. Move it to a newly created directory (F7) named perhaps "zope". Then in that directory, type: tar -xvzf zope1102.tgz A new directory is then created under your new zope directory named: Zope-1_10_2-linux2-x86.tgz/ Go into this directory and type ***This is were you got stuck*** ./install ***No switches!!! Then edit the access file now in this directory and change the obscure username and password to your favorites with F4 key to use "vi" Press i to insert new user/passwrd -- example: zope:gogo Press escape then :wq to save. Then ./start to start zope and maybe later if you EVER want to stop zope (who would ever WANT to stop!, ./stop. BTW, if you want to test the integrity of the downloaded zope distro, only change the t to an x as in: tar -xvzf zope1102.tgz Enjoy!!! -bobo connor
