Do yourself a favor, if you're on a RedHat compatible system, just head over
to Jeff Rush's website, and grab the Zope RPMs...

http://starship.python.net/crew/jrush/Zope/

Just grab the 

Zope-2.0.1-5.i386.rpm

and either the

Zope-zserver-2.0.1-5.i386.rpm

or

Zope-pcgi-2.0.1-5.i386.rpm

and install them the standard RPM way. I wouldn't even have touched Zope
with a ten-foot cattleprod, if not for those RPMs, and they made my
installation a total of 10 minutes (of course, figuring out configs, and
pcgi took a bit longer).

This might shave some of the daunting complexity from your tutorial - by the
way, good form, and thanks for that.
