You wan to install wordpress on a domain?.

If you want a clear answer, learn English and try again.
 
Wordpress.com caters self hosted blogs (ie subdomain.wordpress.tld), Wordpress.org is where you download the actual script and install it on your own domain (which I assume you mean by 'normal'). Basically you're looking at the wrong wordpress site in regards to making your own.
 
When you install wordpress you can tell it which domain to install on and which folder. At least in Fantistico which is the easiest way for a newbie (or anyone) to install it.

:p based on how he tried to type xxxx. in front of wordpress[dot]com (if you mouse over the 'xxxxx' link) , I'm assuming he's visiting wordpress.com trying to figure out how to get it onto his own server.

But ya, if you got a cpanel/whm setup with Fantastico installed, thats like a dead simple way to get wordpress going, don't even have to touch a text editor.
 
Its simple
download latest wordpress
create mysql database
run install script connecting the install to the database.

Done.
