	I don't know if it's documented anywhere. I found out the hard 
way ;-) by adding the line without changing the start script. I had to 
ssh into the server to kill the Zope process before it could finish 
booting. Once I removed the -D argument it worked fine.

	I, for one, would have appreciated such a document. I'm a relative 
newbie, too, and have only gotten things working after extensive 
trial-and-error, using lots and lots of Google searches to find the info 
I needed.
