I would advise you to do a full install rather than a custom
install. Without Writer, you will have problems handling text if you
will be able to add text to a slide at all. Without Draw, you will
not be able to use graphics. So, you have to have these three at the
very least. Not including Calc (spreadsheet) and Base (database)
would save you perhaps 5 MB of harddrive space. This is only 2-3% of
the total space required for a complete install. Who knows, you may
want a spreadsheet on a slide for some reason at some point. That
would require Calc. You might also find a need for a database some
time in the future.
All of this is true because OpenOffice.org is an integrated suite
of applications that run on a core component. The applications
contain about 1-2% each of the total program. The core contains the
rest of the total.
