As it is, I think it's a couple of MB. I don't like the binary installer that much too. Why don't you ship a tarball with a install script within the tarball (like vmware does for example)? That would make downloads even smaller for people with bzip2 installed as you can easily provide both .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 ...
