I don't have a solution (other than getting a pile of Adobe
CDROMs). In fact, you aren't likely to find one. There is
a little that could be shed from the installation, in many
cases, but the terms for redistribution of Reader 3.0
actually prevent you from cutting down the installer (e.g.
by leaving out forms or netscape plug-ins).

This may seem harsh, but I think it's sensible. If a user
has received Reader from one source, they will assume it's
complete. If they later get a PDF file that needs a missing
feature, I can see this leading to a lot of confusion.
