There are a few ways to do this.

#1. Most decent Linux Distributions let you
install from FTP. In other words, find one
that does,(I know for a fact Slackware.com will allow FTP install) grab only the floppy disk images
to start setup then only the options you've
choose will be downloaded and installed.

#2 Simply visit an FTP site for the distro
you want (most people use RedHat
ftp.redhat.com) and download only the
programs you want. This is much more of a
hassle. If you have a slow connection I
would recomend buying a Linux CD for 2$
online, or if you can't even afford that and
can wait several weeks, you can get a free
Linux CD from:
