Tomcat installation - help please!

sugarplumkittyFive labs completed, two to go by Monday.
Lab 6 requires the use of Tomcat.
I started off by installing J2EE 1.4 SDK 2005Q1 UR1 and took the option to have the installer set my class path.
Then I went to jakarta.com and started reading.
There were a blinding number of options on the download page.
Tomcat's own installation instructions state:
"This section of the documentation applies to procrun 1.0, and is now obsolete. "
It didn't seem to have actual instructions on what to click or type where anyway. I'm sure the instructions are great if you know what you're doing. I don't yet.
I've tried following Sun's "jGuru: Installing and Configuring Tomcat" instructions. I downloaded
5.5.8-alpha Deployer tar.gz and deployed it to my C: drive.
I know my class path already points to my java interpreter. I set JAVA_HOME as follows:
SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_01
Sun's documentation says
"Change to the bin directory and start Tomcat using the command-line command startup."
"jakarta-tomcat-5.5.8-deployer" directory doesn't have a bin directory. All of my java directories have bin directories in them. None has a startup.exe. I thought that maybe the deployer directory would have an installer program that needed to be run. It doesn't.
Is there a "dummies" version of how to install Tomcat anywhere? I'm such a user with this stuff.

2 - Check cats' underbellies to ensure you have a Tom.
3 - Take Tomcat home, making sure to purchase the needed accessories.
4 - Place Tomcat in home. Put litterbox in bathroom, and food and water dishes in kitchen.
5 - Remove Tomcat's optional equipment, unless you want the cute but costly Litter of Kittens upgrade.
And there you have it. Full Tomcat installation ... what? Ohhh, a TOMcat. Um, never mind.
