yeah its not really the way to go but nevermind. Probably won't use it anyway. A little too complicated for my needs. Looking for something a bit simpler?

I'm pretty sure I didn't have to resort to manual installing but I can't remember what the solution was. Anyway, it was too much trouble and I dropped Plone. If I ever have to use it again, I just use a virtualized Linux installation for it which comes with python-2.4 out-of-the-box. I'd recommend Scientific Linux-5.5 (update to 5.6 coming soon) as a Red Hat clone. Regards, Florian Philipp
