I think you did not get the topic ? didnt you?

It's about:
  - what has "dummy webpage" to do with my website.
  - why does TYPO3 not run, if i just downloaded the source package.
  - what do i have to do if i install via ftp?

It's about the confusion which may arise to new users and empty 
installations.
It's not about "pros", hosters or dev-servers which have their 
server-wide sources which are linked. They know what they do and won't 
profit from it ... for shure, they will have theire own - preconfigured 
dummys, install scripts or sth. else what personally does not work standard.
How about: dummy-package assumes your sources to be located on level 
above site-root. That's not the case most times.

So Steffens efforts are about: how to allow new users, ftp-users or sth 
else an better experience.

Solution proposed:
  - just unpack/upload/link the source-package to f.e. typo3_src
  - link the index.php
  - run index.php
Magic happens at Step Zero of Installer:
  - Installer will link typo3 folder
  - Installer will link t3lib
  - Installer will create uploads/fileadmin/.../ from source-package
  - Installer will create ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL
  - 1-2-3 mode will come up


If your "environment" is already setup no need for step 0.


This would ease up the usage of TYPO3 for beginners, less files/packages 
to maintain and end up with the confusion why a dummy webpackage is 
needed but empty (and not a dummy).

Got it?
