By not using the installer you are going to make life really hard for you in the long run.
That depends on what s/he's trying to accomplish. It's not that difficult making a basic stripped-down LS installation with just a handful of modules (and it will be fast as heck as well). I did that myself on an old 98SE computer a while back. But... creating an OTS2-compatible setup is of course an entirely different matter, and managing themes will probably be very cumbersome without some kind of theme installer/switcher.
