Thanks, I've worked it now.
I wasn't too sure where INSTANCE_HOME was, in debian it's
/var/lib/zope/instance/default

Have created inituser and logged in OK and made a zope user.
I've just added a plone site, but I can't work out how to add components 
to plone. Plus only Authenticated users can see content.

What do I need to do to open up the site and add other components?

Thanks in advance
James
