Also, you can try ploneout, but it may be a bit experimental
still:

  $ svn co 
http://svn.plone.org/svn/plone/ploneout/branches/2.5
plone2.4
  $ cd plone2.5
  $ python bootstrap.py
  $ bin/buildout -v
  $ parts/instance/zopectl fg

Yes, you will need the shell. This is much easier for you in
the long 
run than moving back to old and unsupported Plone versions,
though.

There is a so-called "Universal Installer" that
will do all the hard work  
for you. The problem is one of timing, right now it hasn't
been updated  
for Plone 2.5.2, but the 2.5.1 version is still available:

Get the "Universal Linux/BSD/UNIX installer (builds
Python and Zope from  
source)" from:

http:/
/plone.org/products/plone/releases/2.5.1

The 2.5.2 version of this will hopefully be ready within the
next few days.

OS X 10.4 is close to 2 years old, and since the installer
is maintained  
by volunteers, we can't expect them to maintain a different
code base for  
the 10.3 release. Here are some numbers for the various
versions from  
OmniGroup:

Your mail account is full, according to the bounce message I
got.

Here's my answer again:
