Hi Robb,

I suspect that problem is that you're trying to install the tutorial as the
emergency user (the one that was created automatically when you installed
Zope). As a security precaution, the superuser isn't allowed to
"own" anything. Your first step on a new Zope should be to make a new user
and make that user a "Manager." Then use that user to install the
tutorial. Good luck.
