No Titanium alternative?

[burnsai]

I have to buy the disks off amazon.

Is their an easy way to get things up and running without titanium?
I see their is a way other then the disks but what steps would I need to do?
I really would like to get on tonight.. and If I cant figure it out.. it would atleast pass the time aggravating me which is nearly as good.... anything but boredom.
