Hi;
I'd like to install INSTANCE_HOME, which lead me to the System rc script, 
but am a little confused by the instructions:

In the System rc /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope script I read the following:

ZOPE_BASE=/opt/Zope
INSTANCE_BASE=/home/httpd/zope

and again in the env script:
ZOPE_BASE=/usr/local/Zope

Where do these come from? They aren't in my system to begin with. Are they 
part of the build? Did they get placed elsewhere? How do I search for them? 
Or do I need to write them? Or are these scripts automagically generated?

Place the var and Extensions directories and the access file for the site 
in the site directory. If you are starting from scratch, you can make empty 
directories and create access with the zpasswd.py utility.

Okay, I can install from scratch. I understand how to change passwords with 
the zpasswd.py utility. How do I create access to the new directories I'll 
be creating utilizing this utility? Or, do I just build the symlinks and be 
done with it? What is meant by the above passage?

TIA,
BenO
