Ok. Thank you very much. Now it works.

I mis-interpreted the passage of the tutorial "Managing projects with zc.buildout", section "Creating a buildout for your project", from which I took the command line
   ./bin/buildout -No
In executing the buildout after changing (extending) the basic buildout.cfg, my intension was not to download and install possible newer versions of Zope and Plone.

Probably it would be more clear to treat as two distinct use cases
- not looking for updated versions of eggs (non-updating mode, option -N)
- not downloading at all other archives (offline mode, option -o)

Hi, all,

on linux I've installed Plone 3.1.1 with ZopeSkel 1.10.
The entire procedure was ok.
I was able to start the instance, to access the ZMI, to create a Plone site and to access it through the web.

Then I

1. added to the buildout.cfg file two Plone products packaged as eggs:
[buildout]
...
eggs =
    elementtree
    Products.SimpleAttachment
    Products.Ploneboard
...

2. run again the buildout:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] plone3]$ ./bin/buildout -No
and the buildout has aborted soon after emitting the message
"Installed /tmp/tmp10OYXZ/Products.SimpleAttachment-3.0.2-py2.4.egg"

If you run with -o, then it won't try to download the egg. Try without the -No.
