It's likely that it's possible but it's not recommended. Partial installs of OOo save very little space and often lead to odd problems down the road when some needed part of the suite is not available,

As far as I remember (and I'm not certain of this) if you do a Custom Install you can select which components to use. I do know that partial installs, as acknak has said, give unexplained problems and our answer on the Forum to cure these is always to do a full install. I have seen suggestions that in a future release it might be good to target limited installs, but as yet there is no movement on this proposal; I would rely on it ever happening.
