deploy management studio to users

is there a way to deploy only the workstation tools? Can I create an msi or
sms package to install only the tools I need for users to have? Can I lock
down the interface so all options are greyed out other than workstation tools?
There are several different ways that you can do this all made super easy by
SQL 2005.
I dont need to waste my time writing the steps since someone wrote a really
nice blog...

installs configuration manager. we only want to install management studio.
