Hi Roberto,

The INSTALL.txt file of the typo3 core which can be found here

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/typo3/typo3_src-3.8.0.tar.gz?download

gives some very good information on "single source code installation".


First download the source and then the dummy package. Do not use the zip 
files, but the tar files! Then untar them directly on your webserver 
using shell access or alternatively a PHPshell (Google knows all of them).

After untar-ing the dummy package which can be found here

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/typo3/dummy-3.8.0.tar.gz?download

you will see that there are already various so called symlinks. In order 
to see the symlinks, use the ls command with the option -l.

shell> ls -l


IMPORTANT NOTE

Please be aware of the fact that the file transfer protocol (FTP) does 
not support symlinks. You cannot unpack these archives locally and copy 
them to your server using FTP, even if the target server actually is a 
Unix server.

Try to follow the step by step guide in the before mentioned INSTALL.txt 
file. If you encounter any problems, feel free to post them here.

Good luck,
Nick
