Ok, I figured out the problem.. Zope is smarter than I was and decided
that I shouldn't be using root as the account to run under, so started
as nobody.. Unfortunatly, nobody didn't have the rights it needed. 
Creating a zope account and running it under that made things work much
better.

Now.. of course, the day I go out of my way to install zope, version 2.0
comes out.. so I decide I should upgrade now before I get comfortable
with my current version.. 

So zope 2.0 installs fine, but when trying to create a new squishdot
site, I get the following error:

Traceback (innermost last):

AttributeError: (see above)

I've read about the fix needed to TinyTable in order to make Squishdot
work with the new Zope's, and I edited the file as needed, but I still
get the error.  I suspect I need to recompile the TinyTable.py file
(into a .pyc?), but I've never worked with Python before, so I don't
know how..

Can anybody give me a quick hand again?

BTW.. The initial impressions once I got Squishdot going on the older
version of Zope are very good.. I'm really impressed with it!  Kudos to
all that have contributed to it.
