that's the easiest thing to do: you download the source and dummy 
packages (say, version 6.1) from the TYPO3 download site, unpack them 
and move the resulting directories into the root directory of your web 
server. Don't rename the directory resulting from unpacking the source, 
but do rename the dummy...-directory to something meaningful. Change the 
permissions so that your web server has writing permissions on the 
fileadmin, typo3cond, typo3temp and upload subdirectories in the 
ex-dummy...-directory. Point your browser to that directory - that's it.

Nahhh it isn't - it's all quite easy...
