Hi :) Most of LibreOffice is the core shared stuff. The different modules/programs are effectively, mostly "window dressing". So even if you do manage it then you'd save a very tiny percentage of space and resources.
If you want a dedicated spreadsheet program then Gnumeric is good and co-operates well with LibreOffice; http://www.gnumeric.org/ It's so good that apparently quite a lot of people have it alongside an office suite such as MSO, LibreOffice or OpenOffice (and/or the others). Sometimes it's better to have a specialist program that doesn't have to worry about irrelevant features in other programs/modules. Abiword is a good stand-alone word-processor. I've not heard of people having that in addition to an office suite though. I have heard of people using a full Desktop Publishing program such as Scribus alognside LibreOffice even though Writer is more of a DTP than Word is. Apparently the output of Writer works well in Scribus. There are many stand-alone presentation software programs out there that are far better than Powerpoint / Impress, allegedly. Similarly with Draw. Most stand-alone programs have advantages and disadvantages compared to their LibreOffice/OpenOffice or MSO equivalents. For example Gimp doesn't do scalar-vector graphics very well, Draw does. Inkscape is great with scalar vector graphics but is very unusual and quite a steeeep learning curve at first, whereas Draw is fairly easy. It's only MS Office that doesn't play well with others. LibreOffice/OpenOffice do not aim to block out the rest of the world. They aim to co-operate and work well with a whole eco-system that includes a wide range of other programs. A classic example is email-clients. With MS Office you are restricted to really only using either Outlook or Outlook Express. With LibreOffice you find it integrates well with many other emailers, such as Evolution, Thunderbird, Claws or many others. On a low spec machine you might prefer Claws but if your needs are heftier you might prefer Thunderbird. Most people seem to default to Thunderbird but the choice is yours and you can change your mind and use something else later, or on a different machine.
