Ben,

I haven't got any time to help much either, but there are easier ways of
getting started than this.

  http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/instancehome

is simple to follow and describes the minimum you need to do to get
multiple instances running.  jim's other stuff is just redhat specific
startup scripts.  you can manage without them until you understand how
they work; for now, you could just hard code calls to start each of your
zopes individually in /etc/rc.d/rc.local or similar.
