I meant the http://<server>/<SITE_NAME>/prefs
_install_products_form
which shows a number of uninstalled and installed products
that 
shipped with the distro such as  CMFSquidTool 1.3.0,
CacheSetup 
1.0, ... TextIndexNG3 3.1.9, as well the installed products.

It says: To make new products show up here, put them in the 
directory /opt/Plone-2.5/zeocluster/client2/Products on the
file 
system, and restart the server process.

which I did - the products are placed into that dir:

rootmoo /opt/Plone-2.5/zeocluster/client2/Products
525 $ ls -ld FAQulator FCKeditor kupu Quills-1.5RC3 ZWiki
drwxr-xr-x  6 plone root 4096 2006-09-14 22:37 FAQulator/
drwxr-xr-x  7 plone root 4096 2006-09-14 22:37 FCKeditor/
drwxrwxr-x 20 plone root 4096 2006-09-11 23:46 kupu/
drwxr-xr-x  7 plone root 4096 2006-08-29 18:45
Quills-1.5RC3/
drwxr-xr-x 11 plone root 4096 2006-09-14 22:37 ZWiki/
22:35:49 rootmoo
/opt/Plone-2.5/zeocluster/client2/Products

and after a restart, FAQulator, FCKeditor, kupu, and ZWiki
are 
available, but there's no evidence of Quills (which is
advertised as 
a Plone Product, not a Zope product).

No Quills-related entries show up in the Zope Control Panel
either.

You interpreted my problem perfectly but unfortunately while
you 
suggested a number of good ideas (and I learned more
examining them), 
none of them seemed to work.

This has been done for the admin, and two other users who I
added.  
None of them has access to the editors, tho you can see that
the 
preferences for them in each user's login.  This is quite
odd.

I'll file a bug on this.  I'm using Opera now, but I'll
re-run the 
tests on Konqy and firefox.

I looked at every option available but couldn't find
anything that 
would allow me to change it (as admin)

Not in my site there isn't (as a normal user).  This is
begining to 
feel like a required chunk of functionality was left out of
the 
installation, but my server log is clean..

Nothing there either...

Thanks very much for the help.  I'll look around and see if
I can find 
additional hints as to why I have these gaping holes.
