Having seen Zope recommended on Usenet last week, I decided to check it 
out, Monday I found the Webreview article in the email box.  I have been 
reading as much as I can find, but one question is always on my mind, 
when ever I find one of these wonderful, does it all systems.

Can I install it ?  Not, is it to complicated to install, but do I need 
root access to the machine to install this application.  This question 
and the answer have killed many a promising application (DB & BBS).

So, the question is, can Zope be installed in a typical Telnet account ?

The install docs mention, you have to be root user, to install some 
components, does this mean what I fear it means ? (machine admin, ie. 
super user)
