two ways:

1. Copy your Data.fs from the var directory of the old zope into the new
one.  Remember that you need to have the right products installed.

2. Switch to INSTANCE_HOME usage, as explicated by Evan:

I add the steps of symlinking the software folder to something like
zope_soft. This has the advantage that any further releases of zope, to
upgrade you simply unpack and compile zope, then link it's folder to
zope_soft, restart zope, and (more-or-less) viola!  things work.
