      With some kind of virtual machine (VMware, etc.), surely.

      and how?
      i'm new on vmware. what settings should i use to run it? i downloaded darwin but its an .iso.tz file. how can i unpack it? i only have windows, no more.

        I don't know Windows. 

        Are you sure it is a .tz extension, I never seen that before.  .gz would mean you need gzip.

        You need to unpack the iso and then burn it to cd. 

        VMware should give you the instructions after that to install the OS as a virtual machine.  Maybe you can use the ios directly.

      yes it is a .gz file.

      i downloaded gzip and installed it but there one more problem: if i doubleclick on the gzip.exe in the bin folder there's only for a command window that closes after one second. what must i do now?

        Then I guess this is a command line tool that must be called with an argument.  Or maybe you can drap and drop the compressed file on the tool.
