     If you are using Windows as your operating system, do a custom 
install. (The previous installation will not be remembered.)
     Is there a particular reason why you do not want to install Base? 
You could do the default install and not ever use Base. (I do not use 
the Math component even though I have it installed.) If size of the 
install is a problem, the custom install uses about 5 MiB less than the 
default install. LibreOffice is a single integrated program with a core 
section (most of the installation) and the individual components 
(Writer, Calc, Base, Draw, Impress, etc.) which each add 5-10 MiB of 
installed files. All of the components share the core section. They even 
use some of the files from other components. For example, Base forms and 
reports use Writer files to create or modify them. Impress uses Draw and 
Writer functions .
