Re: Installing Plone v3.2 on Mac OS X 10.5

Hi mosx86,

Thanks to the problems you've experienced in the past, SteveM has put a lot
of effort into creating a binary installer that takes care of all of these
dependencies and creates a working buildout for you.

I would also like to know what the use case is for installing from source,
since I'm documenting this for the upcoming theming book. I know we've
covered the dependencies, I'm just not clear on when it's appropriate *not*
to use the binary.
