You can free up another 400MB by going to
$ORACLE_HOME/assistants/dbca/templates
and deleting the two compressed sample
databases (assuming you build your own
thereafter).
And then there's $ORACLE_HOME/bin where
you can delete everything that ends in 0 (zero)
or O (capital o) - as these are the previous
versions of the executables pre-build. That
should save another 200MB or more.
I once stripped the 700 MB of a 7.3 install down to about 32MB at one site by deleting all the redundant material from the production system. (OPS - so there were 16 copies - which gave us another 8GB when space wasn't quite so cheap as it is now). I do wish Oracle Corp. would at least list which executables and libraries were relevant to which optional components of the software.
