[Zope] Newbie Questions

[Derek S. Wilson]

Let's also remind him not to install CMF 1.4 as it does not work with
Plone, and you must use CMF 1.32.

Thanks,
Derek Wilson

Hello,

>From memory:
- CMF is a product, unzip the package in the ~zope/lib/python/Products
directory. After a restart the CMF should appear in the installed
product list.

then continue following the plone install documentation...
