Hi,
If you just want to practice struts/jsp just download the Binary distrubution in the zip format.

use this link and get the 6.0.13 zip file. Unzip and run the startup.bat in the bin folder

You have to set the following environment variables appropriately

(i) CATALINA_HOME or TOMCAT_HOME to the main/root directory where you have either installed or extracted the Tomcat

(ii) JAVA_HOME environment variable to the main/root direcotry where you have installed J2SDK.

(iii) Run the startup.bat file in the command prompt. Its present in <TOMCAT-INSTALLED-DIR>/bin folder

(iv) Open your browser and type http://localhost:8080. It should work. Just check and make sure you dont have a clash on the PortNumber if your IIS is already running your machine.

tomcat install is a good tutorial if you are using pc.

If you are using mac os x then just install tomcat in /usr/local/tomcat and set permissons.
check the bin directory for sh start and stop script
